“You may have tangible wealth untold; caskets of jewels and coffers of gold. Richer than I you can never be – I had a mother who read to me.” Strickland W. Gillilan. (I would change mother to parent.)

Why it is important to read to your child.

Syneva Mullins a retired Reading Specialist from Silver Lake tells us that reading with your child builds language skills, exposes them to new words and ways of using language which makes it easier to learn about new subjects once they are in school. From birth babies are hardwired to develop language skills so consistent exposure is key.

What should you read to your newborn? It doesn’t matter the level of reading. It’s about having them hear words, sentences and language.

What should you read to your toddler/preschooler? Choose books your children can relate to. Fun books that make you laugh and/or books that lead to meaningful conversations.

The library is in the process of planning more literacy programs fall of 2025. We will be asking Syneva to join us during these programs to answer questions and give advice.

New at the library are Book Bundles!

Each bundle has 4 hand-picked books based on a theme. Some of the themes are Color, Dogs, Cows, Numbers, Food and Dinosaurs. Come in and check it out.
