From Barbara's Keyboard ...
“A library should be like a pair of open arms.” |
|
We are sure that everyone will agree that there is something truly wonderful about sharing all the joys of the world with children. We believe that almost all the joys of the world are contained within the pages of the books—hand-picked, kid-tested, parent-approved, time-honored, award-honored, or newly placed—upon our shelves. We hope that these books find their way into your homes and into your lives. The Library contains and sustains multitudes. At the Park Forest Library, the wonderful happens, and keeps happening, every day.
Recipe for Reading to your Child
Mix 1 armload of library books with your feet up.
Sprinkle your child with a hug and kiss, and cover with a favorite blanket.
Add a generous amount of inflection (enough to share)
In time, your child will read to you.
Make time for more.
~ Barbara Osuch, Library Director
