Read-A-Book- La Quinta Library
February 10 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
10 eligible youth will be invited to sign-up for the READ-A-BOOK event. This event is recommended for students (1st to 5th grade). By going to the library with children when they’re young we can make sure they develop a sense that reading is a natural thing for people to do. When children learn from an early age that reading is an essential part of life, they develop habits that make the decision to continue reading that much easier. Forming these habits early can be one of the most important factors in gaining early access to literacy skills. Opening a child’s eyes to innumerable reading options available can change the way they approach books. Connecting children with the library early teaches them that they have access to valuable resources beyond traditional paper pages. The importance of reading for kids has never been more apparent and teaching kids to love reading is integral to any strong educational program. Reading early develops strong habits that will likely carry over to a lifetime of benefits.
