Take Your Child to the Library Day to be Observed Next Month

It is a national program that began in Connecticut.

Feb. 2 has been designated "Take Your Child to the Library Day."

The Rockville Public Library Children’s Department will be observing the event that Saturday.

It is the second-annual version of the day, which was created in Connecticut and is now a nationwide effort focused on bringing children into their local libraries and encouraging families to read together.

While visiting the library that day, children may apply for a library card and check out a book, video, magazine, or audio book.

Families who visit the library that day will receive a tote bag.

A craft workshop and face painting will be offered at the Library Annex, located next door to the Library, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. 

For more information, contact the Library at 860-875-5892.
