On the first Saturday in February*, thousands of libraries across the world celebrate Take Your Child to the Library Day by offering free, fun, fabulous activities for families.
Your local library is an ideal place for children to play, discover, make friends, and have fun. And Take Your Child to the Library Day is the perfect time to discover some library magic.
From magicians to craft programs, ice cream socials to storytimes, each library offers something unique and delightful.
Get a library card (they're free!), meet your children's librarian, and explore all the wonders that your local library has to offer your family.
And be sure to stop in again soon – because every day is a great day to take your child to the library.
