Visit a public library

Most public libraries host story hours for young children. When you take your children, you can:

  • read and sing together and with other families
  • enjoy stories, music, movement and rhymes that develop early literacy skills.
  • encourage everyone in the family to share their love of reading.

Even if the books are selected for ages 6 and younger, siblings are welcome to attend as well. Search for story hours at your library.

Enroll children in a summer reading program at the public library.

Family Fun Idea: Have a reading contest with your children.
