Who we are |
About Library Kids Pre-kindergarten children receive a book from the Junior League of Saint Paul when they attend their pre-kindergarten screening through the Saint Paul School District. The book is accompanied by a brochure for their parents on the importance of reading, and it also contains information on how to get connected with the Saint Paul Public Library. Read, Dream, Achieve The brochure titled Read, Dream, Achieve: How Reading can Impact your Child's Future is translated into Spanish, Hmong and Somali and educates parents that children, who are read to regularly learn to read more quickly, develop a longer attention span and other skills necessary for school. It also suggests that reading is an excellent way to establish a strong parent/child bond. Resources: Read, Dream, Achieve: How Reading can Impact your Child’s Future. View a copy of the brochure.
