Take Your Child to the Library Day 

Saturday, February 6, is the fifth annual Take Your Child to the Library Day.  Begun by Nadine Lipman, a children’s librarian in Waterford, Connecticut in 2011, it has grown nationwide.  Libraries across the country host special events, displays, and programs especially for children on this day.

The Yankton Community Library, 515 Walnut Street, is hosting The Library Game on Take Your Child to the Library Day.  The Library Game offers participants a choice of activities to complete, including writing, drawing, reading, and crafts.  Children can come in any time between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. to try the challenge.  Pick up The Library Game form at the circulation desk.  Materials for completing the activities can be found in the children’s area.  Stop back at the desk, show the librarians your finished project, and receive a treat. 

Please join us in celebrating what libraries can do for children during Take Your Child to the Library Day!  For further information, contact the library at 668-5275.
