Every Day is a Good Day to Read
March is National Reading Month, and we want to stress how important it is to read to your child everyday. If you read just 15 minutes a day during the first five years of a child's life, that's over 450 hours (or over 19 whole days!) of reading by their fifth birthday. There is a book for every day of the week, and we can prove it:
Monday is one day by Arthur A. Levine ; illustrated by Julian Hector
Tuesday by David Wiesner
Wednesday by Anne Bertier ; translated from the French by Claudia Z. Bedrick
Where does Thursday go? by words, Janeen Brian ; pictures, Stephen Michael King
Friday my Radio Flyer flew by Zachary Pullen
March is Reading Month Open Mic Night
"You're never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read with a child" (Dr. Seuss).Come one, come all! To celebrate March is Reading Month, we are hosting an open mic night for readers of all ages. We want you to bring in your favorite family-friendly short passage, poetry or picture book, step up to the mic and share with other literature lovers in the library. The event will take place on Wednesday, March 4 from 7:00-8:00 PM.
March is Reading Month celebrations will continue as we pick up a book and read to you. We'll celebrate our love of reading by sharing some of our favorite picture books for older children as well as a few chapter book excerpts. All ages are encouraged to stop by for a listen.

Introducing the Canton Book Project
Is there a book you know and love? A title you find yourself recommending over and over again? Maybe it changed your life or your outlook. And maybe it could make a difference to someone else. The Canton Book Project is your chance to share your love of reading by giving out books to people in this community who, for whatever reason, don't read for pleasure or own books. Applications are being accepted from members of the community interested in being book givers. Book givers will have the opportunity to share the love of reading by distributing a book of their choice to other members of the community. Readers of all ages are encouraged to apply and books can be of any reading level.
By applying to be a Canton Book Project book giver you agree, if selected, to:
