Outreach Storytime Flyer

In an attempt to connect better to the parents whose children are at childcare centers (thus not able to attend an 'in-house' storytime) the Develop Young Learners Team created a flyer to pass out at each of our outreach storytimes.  I had the privilege and responsibility to get the content ready for the flyer.  Our communications department put it all together into the flyer.

So we have heard very positive feedback from staff about the flyers and the teachers/providers are eager to pass them along to the parents.  Hopefully the parents will take a few minutes to look it over and maybe feel a nudge to read to their children a little bit more!

Here's the content of the flyer:

The library visited today!

Ask me!
Here are some suggested questions to ask you child about today's visit:

• What songs did you sing?
• What books did you read?
• What new words did you learn?
• What was your favorite part about today's visit?

Helpful tip:

Make reading aloud together a regular part of each day, such as every night at bedtime.  A loving bond is created when you hold your child and share the pleasure of a story without the distractions of TV, phones, or other devices.

Research has shown that reading aloud to your child is the single most important way to help prepare them for school success.  Reading aloud builds vocabulary and knowledge while fostering a love of books and learning.
