Did You Know?
Allowing your child the choice to pick out the books that interest them is a great way to encourage their love for reading. This is true not only for little ones, but school-aged kids as well. As we get older, reading for pleasure decreases. Why is this a problem? Because when we read more, especially things that excite us, we strengthen our brains and boost important skills like vocabulary, comprehension, memory, and focus. If you're short on time but know the topics that have been exciting your child, you can fill out a Shelf Service: Personalized Book Recommendation form. Our librarians will email you a list of books we think you and your child will enjoy! (And by the way– this form is for all ages, so fill out a request for yourself, too!) |
