"Read to Every Kid" Starts Mon. Oct. 15!

Join us on Monday, Oct. 15 at 10:00 for the Launch of the 4th annual "Read to Every Kid Every Day" campaign at the Merrickville Public Library.

Parents & kids are welcome as we unveil this year's 10 selected picture books!  Join us for a special Storytime featuring this year's books and a simple craft, plus light refreshments.

The premise behind this award-winning annual campaign (a joint effort of libraries, OEYCs and other children’s agencies across Leeds & Grenville) is simple: reading to children from the earliest age contributes to greater success in school and in life - and it's fun.  Parents/caregivers read the 10 selected picture books (available at libraries and OEYCs) to their children, who then vote for their favourite.  The book with the most votes will be announced on Family Literacy Day in January.  The 10 titles promote key skills for reading success, as well as being lots of fun to read.
