Going to the Library

Picture
There is still some summer left! Use this guide from PBS Kids to make the most of your visits to the Syracuse Public Library.

From what to do before, during, and after visiting  the library, this guide gets kids involved in reading.

1,000 Books Before Kindergarten

Picture
It's never been easier to read 1,000 books before kindergarten! The Syracuse Public Library has introduced sticker sheets to track reading, instead of the sheet requiring titles to be written down. Download the sheet here or pick up one from the children's desk. Stickers are available for pick up as well!

Just read one book a night, you will have read 365 per year. The child will receive a small prize or a book for every 100 books read!

Internet Safety for Children

Be Internet Awesome Logo
The internet can be hard to navigate for adults, let alone for children. Google has created Be Internet Awesome to help teach children to avoid scams, false information, and nefarious players. The Be Internet Awesome site features information for parents and educators to share with children to keep them safe. Children will also enjoy the games on the website, which include spreading kindness online and avoiding phishers. Check out this great resource today!
