Summer is the perfect time to visit your local library. Reading, storytimes, hands on activities, and free family programs help children build language, curiosity, and kindergarten readiness all summer long.

El verano es el momento perfecto para visitar su biblioteca local. La lectura, la hora del cuento, las actividades prácticas y los programas gratuitos para familias ayudan a los niños a desarrollar el lenguaje, la curiosidad y las habilidades necesarias para el kindergarten durante todo el verano.

SPARK is at the library every other Tuesday. Stop by to play, learn, connect, and explore community resources. We would love to see you!

SPARK está en la biblioteca cada otro martes. Acompáñenos para jugar, aprender, conectar y conocer los recursos disponibles para las familias. ¡Nos encantaría verlos!
