Raising Readers: Celebrating a Love of Stories

Families with kids in 1st-6th grade are invited to spend a cozy morning at the library. Play games, make crafts, and discover the magic of reading, together. Enjoy light refreshments and enter fun giveaways.

The first 30 families to attend will receive a goody bag. Plus, read to QCCAN therapy dogs between 10-11 AM!

Also, learn about the library’s new collections and resources that help kids of all abilities find joy in stories. Connect with community partners, including Decoding Dyslexia Iowa, about reading strategies and information for kids with print disabilities, such as dyslexia.

This event is made possible through a Libraries Transforming Communities grant. Libraries Transforming Communities: Accessible Small and Rural Communities is an initiative of the American Library Association (ALA) in collaboration with the Association for Rural & Small Libraries (ARSL).
