Celebrate Children’s Book Week

This year is the 100th anniversary of Children’s Book Week, the longest running literacy campaign in the United States of America.

On Saturday, April 27 the Point Roberts Library will join the annual celebration of books written for children with a birthday cake and stories read by a variety of story-loving Point Roberts residents.

“We’ll have both kids crafts and teen crafts in the meeting room set up all day on a drop-in basis,” said Rose Momsen, children’s librarian at the Point Roberts branch of the Whatcom County Library System. Momsen has also prepared a slide show of the 100 years of children’s book art that has been featured during Children’s Book Week.

This year’s theme for the annual celebration of children’s books is Read Now, Read Forever and our local librarians are full of ideas to help your child fall in love with reading.
