Take Your Child to the Library Day
Nadine Lipman, a children's librarian in Waterford, Connecticut, came up with the idea for Take Your Child to the Library Day and selected the first Saturday in February as the annual day of celebration. The idea gained popularity immediately, and librarians started planning special events, programs, and displays. Won't you be part of our 2nd annual event on Saturday, February 2, 2013?
It's Free
It doesn't cost anything to be part of a child's first (most recent!) visit to the Library. Start a Library card drive, host a performer, run a storytime, offer a craft, or just showcase the wonderful services your Library offers every day of the year. We can't wait to hear about the creative ideas your Library is cooking up.

Hi Nadine, I've just signed in using Pequot Library's generic email,and have created a blog profile, as our resident bunny, "Belle". Is there anything else that's needed to register as a "state representative?" Also, is there a place to send you my actual email address at Pequot Library? Thank you! ~Adair Heitmann, Director of Communications

ReplyDeleteHi Nadine,
I was trying to figure out how to post our Windham Public Library (Maine) link to our event and wasn't sure how to do it. I did see that our idea seems to have struck the fancy of the event organizers. We are excited about it. Hope folks here in Windham are, too.
Thanks,
Laurel
We will be participating as well, in Lake Preston South Dakota!
