Library Offers Winter Reading Program

Tompkins County Public Library will launch its Winter Reading Program December 13 with special reading programs for infants, toddlers and school-aged readers.

Perfect for stimulating an early interest in literacy and learning, the Winter Reading Program includes programs for infants, toddlers and elementary-aged students.

The following programs are available:

Pre-Reader Program (Ages 0-4)-- Infants, toddlers, preschoolers and their parents and 

caregivers are invited to pick-up a Reading Game Card featuring ideas on incorporating early literacy activities into everyday routines. Participants will earn a free book and be entered into a prize raffle.

Readers’ Program (Ages 5-10)--This program encourages school-aged readers to explore their library and have fun while reading. Children who complete activities and read book suggestions from their Reading Game Card will earn a free book and be entered into a prize raffle.

Winter Reading will run from December 13 through January 31, 2015.
