Check out books yourself to show your child everyone can use and enjoy books and the library. Be sure to introduce your child to the librarian and ask about special programs the library has for children. Start your own home library. Designate a book case or shelf especially for your child. Keep an eye out for inexpensive books at flea markets, garage sales, used book stores, and discount tables at book stores.
Many public libraries sell old books once a year.
Make your own books. Child-made books become lasting treasures and part of your home library.
