Family Reading Programs
Local public libraries have wonderful programming for children and families-make it a goal to participate in at least one library activity before the end of summer!
The San Francisco Public Library features a wide array of events, with a heavy concentration on storytime for toddlers, preschoolers, and families. Some programs are bilingual.
The Oakland Public Library also features terrific programming for children of all ages, and multiple read-alouds almost every day.
According to the Applied Research Center, sharing books with children regularly and interactively is the single most effective way to develop a child’s brain architecture and the language, emotional, and behavioral skills that prepare them to learn.
Take advantage of the fantastic, free programs the libraries in your community offer, in addition to the wealth of books and resources. If you haven’t yet made it a family tradition to visit the library, start today!
