Can you imagine your childhood without your favorite stories? Many children in low-income communities have few age-appropriate books in their homes. SFPL joins with Jumpstart’s Read for the Record in the largest shared reading experience ever, with the purpose of bringing national attention to the importance of reading with children from the earliest age. This year the book everyone will be reading on Oct. 8 is the much loved classic, The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. You’re invited to join us at Glen Park Library on Thursday, October 8 at 4:30pm. We will read the story and then the kids can make a take home craft.
