Free Reading Time has a Successful Year
Did you know that the Brigham City Library has a free, drop-in program for kids? Most of our Storytime programs cost $1.00 and you need to register but Free Reading Time is open to everyone. You can bring children of any age, you don't need a library card, and you can choose to attend either Tuesdays or Wednesdays at 12:00 noon. Reading Time runs from the opening of school (first week in September) to the end of school (last week in May).
As we come near the end of our fourth season of Reading Time, the program is more popular than ever. Since September of 2006 we have had more than 800 people attend!
I am often asked why parents must attend with their children for Reading Time. First, the parents can act as ushers and I can keep my role to story teller. Second, this is a great time to learn storytelling and story reading techniques to use when you read with your own children. Third, many parents and grandparents do enjoy hearing a good story as much as their children.
Thanks to all who have made this program fun to do each week. We will conclude on May 30th but don't forget we will resume again in September!
