Every April the Daniel Boone Regional Library system pays recognition to Month of the Young Child with a Families Reading Together program. Parents and their little ones may sign up at any of the library's service outlets, and on the bookmobile, to participate in a celebration of family reading. A different theme is observed each year and materials to keep track of what is read, as well as some fun incentives, are provided upon registration. Each summer, during the months of June and July, the Daniel Boone Regional Library system encourages kids to read and have fun at the library with a six-week summer reading program. Children ages 2 through 12 may sign up any time during the course of the program and will receive a reading record, stickers and handouts.
Kids can also register to win T-shirts and other giveaways on each visit.
Each facility offers story times during this time period, as well as other programs. National Library Week Celebrated across the country in April, National Library Week is an observance sponsored by the American Library Association since 1974. It represents a time to celebrate libraries and the pleasures and importance of reading. Each November libraries nationwide celebrate Children's Book Week. Initiated by the Children's Book Council, this week is intended to highlight the value of children reading and the amazing quality and diversity in the reading materials available for kids.
