HOOKED
ON BOOKS!
This
project is designed to promote literacy for preschoolers. The Project
is made up of 1000 books that are divided into 100 canvas bags, with
each bag containing 10 different books. Parents will be able to sign
out a bag for a 2 week period, read the books with your child, and
return it for another bag.
Our goal is to have 1000 books read to a
child by age 6.
Ask at the library about how to begin!
