Have you visited the library with your children lately? This Saturday, February 2, is Take Your Child to the Library Day!

Parents and grandparents are invited to bring a child to the library, and help them discover the magic of reading. The library offers a world of books for children of all ages, as well as computers, movies, magazines, toys and activities, special events, and so much more.

Say hello to a library worker; they will be glad to help you find something your child is interested in. From sports to science, LEGOs to princesses, the library can bring your child access to a world of information and ideas. If your child can write their name, they are old enough to sign up for their own library card! A child’s parent or guardian should also be present, to sign the parental permission. Come help your child discover the library for themselves, and open the door to lifelong learning.

All Adams County Public Libraries will be open from 10:00 am - 5:00 pm on Saturday.
