Children & Families

FAMILY CENTER @ THE PLAINVIEW-OLD BETHPAGE PUBLIC LIBRARYDECEMBER 2018 • JANUARY/ FEBRUARY 2019

WWW.POBLIB.ORG PAT POLLACK, DEPARTMENT MANAGER

FIND “BOOK OWL”Our BOOK OWL has returned from her summer vacation. Will you be able to find where the BOOK OWL is? Throughout the month of December, Family Center will be visited by a little snowy owl, and it will be your job to find her. Owls only move at night, and so does the BOOK OWL. Come morning she will be asleep in her nook. When you spot her, show a Family Center librarian where she is and you can get a little prize. As BOOK OWL likes to sleep in different nooks, you will always have to find her new nook each morning. Can you find BOOK OWL in her nook?

1,000 BOOKS BEFORE KINDERGARTEN CHALLENGE (continues enrollment)The concept is simple, the rewards are priceless. Read a book (any book) to your newborn, infant, toddler, and/or preschooler. The goal is to have read 1,000 books (yes you can repeat books) before your precious one starts kindergarten. Does it sound hard? Not really if you think about it. If you read just one book a night, you will have read 365 books in a year. That is 730 books in two years and 1,095 books in three years. If you consider that most children start kindergarten at around five years of age, you have more time than you think. (So get started). The key is perseverance. To help, the Family Center will offer incentives. Come into Family Center and sign up today. You will receive a packet and bag to get you started. If your child was enrolled in the Summer Reading Program those books can be counted.

Registration for the following programs is required and limited. In order to register for a Family Center program, your child's date of birth MUST be on file in the Family Center. A birth certificate or passport will be required as proof of age. Registration for all programs is age specific. Sign up in the Family Center or by telephone with your library card. ALL PROGRAMS ARE AGE SPECIFIC. NO YOUNGER OR OLDER SIBLINGS UNLESS SPECIFIED.
