Of course, not all libraries offer the same opportunities, but if your library does not have something you think would be advantageous to the community, work on getting it started. If you like any of the following programs, ask your librarian about it and then offer to help. When they know there is an interest and they would have help, it increases the chances of your idea getting attention. Talk to other parents and go as a group. If your library has a program I haven't mentioned, please let me know.
Some libraries keep the reading lists from each school.
This is helpful because children loose their list or forget, at the last minute, what their book title is. Their report is due and you can make a quick trip to the library. If your library has computers, they may also have internet access for kids. Usually for ages 13 and under a parent must supervise their internet involvement. There is also homework helpers and research help available.
