Everyone knows the children’s department of Fayette County Public Library has books, computers, toys and more. But did you know the library can come to you? No kidding – for free.
You might see the Children’s Librarian at your school, daycare or even a community event. In fact, the Children’s Librarian has made 70 visits this year and reached 7,619 children.
Kids might hear funny or scary stories or do some interactive games. Older kids may take turns filling in Mad Libs to create a silly story. Kids might get a chance to practice their presentation skills by telling jokes and performing reader’s theater. Maybe a class will get to see the newest additions to the library’s collection.
Kids might even see the Children’s Librarian at their school’s Literacy Night or Career Day. Plus, parents or teachers might see the Children’s Librarian at a PTO meeting or staff meeting. Patrons might even see the Children’s Librarian at some community events like the Back to School Expo.
Studies show that the more kids read, the more they succeed. However, the reality is that families are busy. Kids aren’t always able to get to the library so the library comes to them.
Contact Erin Wen, the Children’s Librarian, at ewen@fayettecountyga.gov if you would like for her to visit your school or event.
