Happy New Year from the LS Library! Please stop by to check out books, magazines, audiobooks, and DVDs or to learn more about our online resources. If you haven't set up a parent account yet for accessing our online magazines, books, etc., you're welcome to do that any time.
In February, we're celebrating Love Your Library Month and World Read Aloud Day. We are so incredibly lucky to be at a wonderful school, with access to almost limitless reading material. World Read Aloud Day (on February 16) is about celebrating all of the books surrounding us, and the joy of reading them aloud together! It's also about raising awareness of the 758 million adults worldwide who lack basic reading and writing skills and the 59 million primary age children who are not in school (UNESCO, 2016).
We hope you read with your children every day, but please make a special point on February 16 to read together (age doesn't matter)! Talk about all of the things in your life that you are able to do because of reading and writing. Literacy impacts virtually every aspect of our lives. Consider discussing ways your family can help those who do not have the access to education and resources that we do. Most importantly, share a love of reading!
