Family Literacy Day (FLD) takes place every January 27 to raise awareness about the importance of reading and engaging in other literacy-related activities as a family. Taking time every day to read or do a learning activity with children is crucial to a child’s development, improves a child’s literacy skills dramatically, and can help a parent improve their skills as well.

Celebrate 25 years of FLD and learning together as a family by having a party (or come to one at the library)! Make food, sing songs, and play games. The possibilities for learning are endless – and it’s fun when you do it together.
