Midvale Community Library

Midvale Community Library's next Family Reading Event will be on November 21, 2008.  Watch this site for more details.

Why do we celebrate Family Reading?  Telling or reading a story to young children helps them to understand what they read, helps them know the names and sounds of letters and how to say words, makes them comfortable with books and the printed language, and enlarges their vocabulary.  Studies show that sharing books with babies and youngsters builds their brain power, helps them learn language, prepares them to be readers and creates a special time together.  Midvale Community Library has hundreds of books for children, including board books, picture books and books for early readers and beyond.
