Lincoln Public Library
Celebrate Take Your Child to the Library Day February 1st
On Saturday, February 1st, the Lincoln Public Library will honor kids and families by celebrating Take Your Child to the Library Day. Launched in Connecticut in 2012, Take Your Child to the Library Day (TYCLD) has blossomed into an international celebration.
The program 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. The Lincoln Public Library will be observing TYCLD by giving away three age-appropriate baskets. Children whose parents bring them to the library on the big day will have their names entered in a raffle to win the prize baskets.
