Congratulations to Megan, Joseph & Meredith our latest family to read 1,000 books together! They are part of our Read Together Program where families are encouraged to read regularly together in order to “plant the seeds of literacy” in their children. Megan felt the whole family enjoyed this program, “I’m not sure who had more fun completing this challenge, me or the kids! We read every book we could find featuring their most beloved characters and also gave unknown authors a try, and we discovered a few new favorites along the way. I loved that the kids were so content to make even more time in our day to read besides the usual bedtime stories and that they knew that they were making all of the librarians they know (Mom included!) so proud.” You can read more about this program on our web site. Families can sign up to participate in our Read Together Program by contacting Ms. Karen. “We’ll give you your reading log folder, your first log page and information about the program,...
