Winter Reading Club News

Get wrapped up in Reading...

Children birth through Grade 6 are invited to join our Winter Reading Club and read for fun and prizes!  Pick up a reading chart and a bookmark at the Children's desk beginning January 3.  Read and record your books and submit the chart by February 1 to receive a goody bag and a certificate. The closing family party  is a live interactive show with our friends from MUSIC FOR AARDVARKS, on Sunday, February 4 @ 2pm.  

New!  VOX books make their debut in the Children's Room this month!  

VOX Books are printed books that have an audio reader attached to the front cover of the book. They look and feel like regular books, only they have audio inside. The VOX reader narrates to your child enabling your child to read and listen to the book simultaneously. Each book is pre-loaded with full narration, you can listen to the book with or without earphones, they have a long lasting rechargeable battery and no set up is required! No CDs to get lost, scratched or misplaced.  Just push a button and listen!  

VOX Books are also an excellent resource for English Language Learners since they enable non-English speakers to hear fluent English spoken as they’re learning to read in a new language.
