Program Description

Event Details

It’s never too early to start reading to your child! New and expecting parents are invited to attend this special event where you will learn about the importance of early literacy and what you can do to make it a priority in your family.

At this free event we’ll have:

  • A “storytime” to show you how to read to your little one with early literacy tips and ideas from one of our very own FRVPLD youth services experts.
  • Welcome Little One tote bags for those who attend with bilingual board book, reading recommendations and early literacy information, and a storytime kit with scarf and egg shaker to get you started. (While supplies last.) Be sure to bring your ID with current address so you can get a library card for your little one while you’re here.
  • A safety presentation on baby CPR and car seat installation from the East Dundee Fire Department
  • Representatives from Advocate Sherman Childbirth Education available for questions
  • A free photo from a photographer
  • Raffle prizes

Registration is only necessary if you would like to have a free photo taken. Please sign up for a time slot using this Sign-Up Genius link.
