Volunteers will work with Head Start students, reading and engaging with children from birth to 5 years old. Volunteers may also assist teachers with classroom activities. All volunteers will complete a standard background check and training. Time commitments are flexible and can range from a few hours a week to several days, depending on the volunteer’s availability.
Today, the Lima Public Library kicked off their summer reading program.
If you are on track to create a reading resolution for 2023, there are a lot of benefits of diving into a good book. It can help you sleep. It improves concentration and the ability to focus. Plus, reading can help reduce stress. But more importantly, remember reading is supposed to be fun.
The Findlay Hancock County Public Library got an early of welcoming in 2023. At noon on Saturday, the library held their annual “Noon Year’s Eve” celebration, but this is the first year that they added a balloon drop to the party. The kids could also make their own 2023 hats and take part in a sing along and story time. The event just continues the fun family programing that the library likes to provide.
The Youth Services Department is hard at work making sure that children and their families have everything they need to open the door to imagination and wonder. The department just wrapped up their summer reading program but continues to offer events like the crayon scavenger hunt, design your own unicorn, and hidden picture fun.
A reading program put on through Pet Partners has been paw-tastic for young readers. Through Paws-to-Read children are paired with a registered therapy dog to read to in a quiet, safe library environment.
