Why Buy Books?
Reading for pleasure has real and long-lasting benefits. It unlocks the power of information and imagination and helps children discover who they are. Here’s what you can do to help children develop stronger reading skills and a love for reading:
- Set the example. Let children see you read.
- Have a collection of books in the home. Update this collection routinely to keep pace with changing tastes and reading skills.
- Allow your children to choose their own books to read.
- Support our Library’s summer reading program.
This book sale is sponsored by the Library Foundation.
