Kingsport celebrates “Take your Child to the Library” Day
This Saturday (February 3rd) is Take your Child to the Library Day – a day to remind parents about the importance of public libraries, the services and programs they offer and to provide the perfect opportunity to get your child their first library card.
The Kingsport Public Library is participating in this annual event by offering a scavenger hunt and a craft all day long, as well as a selfie spot for your family to take pictures and post on social media.
“If you’ve not brought your child to the library in a while or have never been here, this Saturday is the perfect chance to visit the Kingsport Public Library,” said Assistant Library Manager Casey Applebaum. “You might be surprised by everything we have to offer.”
Take Your Child to the Library Day was founded in 2011 at the Waterford Public Library in Connecticut by retired librarian Nadine Lipman, librarian Caitlin Augusta and author Nancy Elizabeth Wallace. Since its launch, Take Your Child to the Library Day has been celebrated across the United States and around the world, serving nearly 49 million people.
The annual celebration is the perfect opportunity to visit your local library, especially if you’ve not been by in a while. You can also get a library card, tour the children’s area and explore all the programs, activities and events held every week within the library.
The Kingsport Public Library is an ideal place for children to read and play, discover new interests and make new friends. For more information about Take Your Child to the Library Day, please visit https://takeyourchildtothelibrary.org.
