One of the best ways to encourage learning is to spend time sharing books every day. Reading together helps develop important pre-reading skills that provide a solid reading foundation – a key to school and learning success. Plus, sharing stories together is fun! 
​
Take every chance you have to read with your children, tell and talk about stories, say nursery rhymes, sing songs, and attend Library programs. By reading only three stories a day, you and your child will have read over 1000 books in one year!  You will also have shared many special moments along the way.
 
The Library is a fun place featuring books and other media to check out, free programs, and great suggestions for what to read. Stop in often and talk to our friendly Librarians – we are here to help. Happy reading!

 Call the Sidney-Richland County Library at 433-1917 or stop by to enroll in 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten!  You will not only discover the Magic of Reading, but you will earn prizes too!
