Ready, Set, Read!

July 27, 2010

Come and meet some new friends at storytime! There are many reasons to attend story time at your library but did you know story times are fun? They also encourage group interaction, and foster a love of reading! Listening to books is known to improve reading readiness skills in children. Research shows that children who are read to and have exposure to books, have a larger vocabulary and better language skills when starting school.  Fall storytimes at the Antioch Branch will resume on September 7, 2010. Have fun listening to stories, singing songs and making a simple crafts. There is something for every age group. We have Baby Boosters for 9 to 18 month old children, Toddletime for 18 to 36 month olds, Storytime for 3 to 6 year olds, Beginning Readers for school age children and Family Storytime for everyone. Who knows, you might even learn something!
