TCCL’s Build a Reader kickoff introduces  parents to free library resources

   When did children’s toys get so expensive?

   Go back to the basics and discover how to use free materials to encourage children’s play. Bring your child for a special storytime celebration, Sept. 8, 1 – 3 p.m. at Martin Regional Library, 2601 S. Garnett Road. Enjoy songs, stories and special prizes, as well as learning stations with fun activities for the entire family.

   Through TCCL’s Build a Reader program, parents and young children build a foundation for literacy by participating in these five activities: talking, playing, singing, reading and writing. Research shows that regularly doing these five activities will prepare your child to enter kindergarten with better language and learning comprehension skills.

   TCCL offers storytimes throughout the year at its 24 locations and they are all free. For more information on library programs and activities, call the AskUs Hotline, 918-549-7323 or visit the library’s website, www.tulsalibrary.org.
