Every summer we have some of our socials at the local library. The families participate in storytime, sign up for the summer reading program, and take a tour of the library. Parents who might be hesitant to go to the library on their own for the first time appreciate going as a group with our program and are helped with the process of getting a library card. On recent home visits, several children have proudly showed me the prize they have won for their participation in the reading program. One mom, who came a year ago to the social at the library, has continued to visit the library weekly and check out books for herself and her children. On each home visit, she takes a moment to show me the books she is currently reading to her children. It is great to help these families connect with a wonderful community resource and begin a new habit of reading library books to their children.
