We just rotated the large print last week and have collection #2 now. The play aways include titles for all ages. They only require headphones to listen to your favorite novels on tape.
Check our website or facebook anytime for craft workshops, new movies and books. And let us know if you have an idea for a new craft, book or movie. We are always planning and adding to our collections in every genre’.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if every child participated in summer learning, and as a result, raised literacy rates throughout the area? Children learn best when their learning is not interrupted – and summer vacation is a long interruption!
Without practice, children forget facts and important “how to” skills. The Springboro Public Library’s Summer Library Program helps children’s minds to stay active by bridging the gap between school years.
Nurturing basic literacy skills is one of the goals of PA Forward Pennsylvania Libraries, an initiative of the Pennsylvania Library Association.
Research shows that a child’s library use raises his or her fourth grade assessment scores.
Help spark learning in all of children this summer by supporting and participating in the Summer Library Program.
