WOW! It has been quite a while since I last blogged!
I want to invite parents and caregivers with children 3-5 years of age to our weekly storyhour.  It is every Wednesday at 10:30.  We alternate English and Spanish every week, so that we can reach more children.  We also have a new program for children under 5 years old.  It is called "1000 Books Before Kindergarten."  It is a program where parents read 1000 books to their child.  It helps the child develop important pre-literacy skills, such as building a larger vocabulary, learning that text is read from left to right, learning to turn pages from front to back of book, recognizing that every letter makes a distinct sound, following plots and stories, and so much more!!!!  All you have to do is come by the library to sign up.  We will give you a binder to keep track of your reading.  Your child will earn a prize at every 100 book milestone, 100, 200, 300, etc...   Read more about it at http://www.calexicolibrary.org/programs/1K
