Raising Readers
We know it is easy to get overwhelmed when choosing books your kids will love. Our 4-part series called, “Raising Readers: Tips for Choosing Books for Children” can help. These age-related tips will help you navigate the library and will reinforce the importance of reading aloud. And remember, our librarians are always available to help.
