The Tuscarawas County Public Library System invites the community to join them for Take Your Child to the Library Day on Saturday, February 7th.
Launched in Connecticut in 2012, Take Your Child to the Library Day has blossomed into an international celebration. The brainchild of retired Waterford children’s librarian Nadine Lipman, the event was developed to spotlight libraries as vital community resources that enrich, educate, and entertain – and to encourage families everywhere to take their children to their local libraries.
Four of the County Library System’s locations will host family-friendly events in recognition of Take Your Child to the Library Day.
- Join the Sugarcreek Branch (120 South Broadway) at 10:00 AM for crafts, games, and fun.
- Stop by for a paint-and-take family day at the Bolivar Branch (455 West Water Street) from 11:00-1:00 PM. No experience needed.
- Meet a furry valentine at the Tusky Branch (209 South Main Street) at 11:00 AM with a visit with adoptable animals from the Tuscarawas County Humane Society.
- Kids ages 2-5 years old can enjoy a special storytime and a behind-the-scenes tour of the Main Library (121 Fair Ave. NW in New Philadelphia) at 11:00 AM.
Registration is required for these free programs and may be completed on the Event Calendar or by calling the Main Library at 330-364-4474, the Bolivar Branch at 330-874-2720, the Sugarcreek Branch at 330-852-2813, or the Tuscarawas Branch at 740-922-2748.
