Winter reading programs available in Roanoke County and surrounding areas :)

The winter reading program is underway at all Roanoke County VA Libraries. All you have to do to get signed up is see the librarian and keep a log of the books you read to your child. It’s really just that simple. This program was designed to encourage and introduce literacy skills to your child between 0 and 5 years old. You set the goal and then read to your child between January 30th and February 29th. Once you have reached your goal, all you have to do is take your reading log back to the library, where your child will be rewarded with a prize. This year’s winter reading program reward sounds like it will be a dog finger puppet that is supposed to be adorable. What better way to reward your child for enjoying bonding while being read to, than to get a reward from the librarian. I hope all of you enjoy these programs as much as I do and I look forward to promoting the summer reading program as well.

Do you attend any events at your local library or participate in any of their program? If so which ones?
