What should I be reading to my child?
There are so many wonderful books available to read aloud to your children.  Parents often ask for guidance at the library, and we are happy to make reccomendations. Please ask us!  Share some of  your favorite books from your childhood. Read authors that your child enjoys. Does your child love to hear stories about trucks, princesses, dragons or dinosaurs? Don't be afraid to try something new!
