This is also a golden opportunity to tell you about our newest reading program being piloted this upcoming January, called simply our "Winter Reading Program". From January 19th through February 28th you can read or listen to any book and fill out an entry form (available on our website at gmplibrary.org or at the library) to be entered into weekly gift card drawings. No registration is required and anyone five years or older can participate ! So this January, grab one of the wonderful titles we have suggested below or a favorite from your home bookshelf and get cozy.
To celebrate winter reading, we will be sharing some titles that are personal favorites here in the Grafton-Midview Public Library Children's Department. Throughout the next couple weeks keep your eyes peeled for more winter reading recommendations as part of our "Winter Reading With Your Family" series. Today we will share great choices to read with the littlest ones in your family. Babies will enjoy the adorable board books below while preschoolers and kindergarteners will enjoy the many beautiful and entertaining picture books. I'm sure that even older children and adults will agree to a fireside read-aloud of Extra Yarn or Let it Snow, though. Happy reading!
