Third and Forth Graders Receive a Tour of the Library
Every year, the staff of the Children’s Department invites local third and fourth graders and their teachers for a special tour of the library to learn about the many exciting books, materials and programs available to them. The purpose of the visits is to encourage children to discover the joy of reading. “We feel that it is important to start early to encourage a lifetime of reading for pleasure,” says Children’s Librarian Anita Ditz. “We also want children to realize that the library skills learned at school libraries are transferable to all libraries.” Each school visit lasts approximately 75 minutes and library staff provides the students with a general library orientation and tour, the opportunity to obtain library cards and booktalks.
