From 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, the Oxford Memorial Library will be hosting Take Your Child to the Library Day. Author Kari Krom will be at the event reading her children’s book “A Missing Curiosity.”
Each family who attends will have the opportunity to take a free, signed copy of the book home with them. The library will also have crafts for families to do, and a treasure hunt set up to help families explore and get acquainted with the Library itself.
Library Youth Services Director Jessica Tefft said the library event “is a wonderful way for people in the community to learn about all the activities Oxford Library has to offer. Programs such as the early literacy program, as well as educational resources, and fun events that the librarians provide for free to the community every day of the year.”
According to the organization's website the day is aimed at raising community awareness about the importance of the library in the life of a child and promotes library services and programs for children and families.
Tefft said the free, family-friendly event is supported by the Connecticut Library Consortium and endorsed by the Association for Library Service to Children (a division of the American Library Association), Reach Out and Read, and Read to Grow.
Take Your Child to the Library Day was launched in 2011 as a grassroots literacy project in Connecticut. The day of celebration was created by Connecticut librarians Nadine Lipman and Caitlin Augusta with Connecticut children’s book illustrator and author, Nancy Elizabeth Wallace.
