Summer Reading Program
Coming June 2024
Kids of all ages (and grown-ups, too!) are invited to read for fun and prizes in the library’s free Summer Reading Program.
1,000 Books Before Kindergarten
The Warren-Trumbull County Public Library participates in the nationwide 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten reading initiative to encourage parents and caregivers to read 1,000 books with their child before he or she starts kindergarten.
Reading aloud helps strengthen early literacy skills, which helps prepare children to be ready to learn to read when they enter kindergarten. Studies have also shown that children who are read to at an early age are more successful in school.
Stop by any W-TCPL location for a starter folder to participate in the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program, or find out more here.
