We are celebrating National Take Your Child to the Library and we've got some special things planned just for you. Take Your Child to the Library Day (TYCLD) is an international initiative that encourages families everywhere to take their children to their local library. The Cora J. Belden Library serves as an important community resource for children and families. We are passionate about working with children to develop literacy skills and form a life-long love of reading and learning at the library. Saturday will be a great day for us to showcase some of the free opportunities we offer for people to enjoy engaging programs and a diverse array of materials and services.
