November is be a busy month at the library! As folks prep for the winter holiday season, we're excited to celebrate with seasonal fall crafts and decor. Here at the Caldwell Public Library we're also getting in the festive spirit for another November celebration: Idaho Family Reading Week, which we'll celebrate from November 17th to November 21st.
Idaho Family Reading Week is an weeklong celebration during which families are encouraged to read together and visit their local libraries to explore resources. This year the theme is Stories Under the Stars, inviting you and your family to cozy up with a twinkling tale and get some good reading in after dark.
Whether family reading takes place at home or the library, at doctors' offices or laundromats, at the park or the pool, or anywhere your family reads, it's a crucial support of early childhood literacy. We're excited to celebrate Idaho Family Reading Week under the stars with you this November. See below to find out about some of the stellar programs we'll be offering during Idaho Family Reading Week!
