If your child is participating in a supervised program, please stay in the building. It is important that you be available in case your child needs to leave the program. Library hours are posted on the door of each building, on the library's brochure, on bookmarks and on this web site. The library staff cannot assume responsibility for children under age 18 who are left at the library after closing. Born To Read is a collaborative community initiative.
Celebrations are for babies as they turn one, two and three years old.
We welcome parents, siblings, grandparents, and other family members. Dr. Burton L. White in his book, The First Three Years, points to the necessity of talking and reading to babies. Research indicates that the spoken language directed to a child is far more beneficial than mechanical language that comes from a television. Listening to their parent's voice is what babies need. The Parenting Resource Center in the Children's Room of the Greenwood County Library provides a rocking chair, a comfortable sofa for reading to your children, and a play rug for all ages.
