How to Get Your Child to be a Fanatic Reader

This is a very good article written by author James Patterson about helping your child to become a reader. Check it out!

I mentioned it in a previous post, but I'll post it again -- James Patterson's ReadKiddoRead is a great resource for finding books that kids will love.

Return of Baby Rhyme Time

After taking a break for the summer, we are starting our Baby Rhyme Time again this week!

We are looking for a volunteer to lead a Preschool Story Time at the same time as our baby program. If you are interested, please give us a call! 567-2022
