The Library’s Reading Selection of the Month – JULY, 2010

Do you have an infant, toddler, or preschooler? Then, the Library recommends Lola at the Library by Anna McQuinn and Rosalind Beardshaw (illustrator) as a great book to read to them.

We especially love this book because it’s about establishing a relationship with the Library and reading to your children at a very early age! The Library’s 2010 Summer Reading Club also encourages preschoolers to sign up and enter, and have an adult read to them. It’s also important to read to your infant to help develop strong language skills.

So here’s what we’ve heard about Lola at the Library:

Lola loves Tuesdays because that is the day she and her mother go to the library. Everything about the trip is an exciting adventure – from packing her backpack with books and her all-important library card, to storytimes and singing, to choosing new books and the walk home, when they always stop for a special treat.

But the best time of all is when Mommy reads her a story at bedtime.

Simple text and large, bright acrylic illustrations of this engaging African-American child make this selection just right for sharing. Perfect for instilling a love of libraries and books in the youngest patrons, it's a winner.
