Don't hibernate this winter! Sign up for PAWS TO READ, the library's new Family Read Aloud Program. This exciting new winter reading program combines reading with some "pawsitively" fun activities that families can do together including listening to music, creating an art project, and reading to a pet or stuffed animal.

Families with children (infant to grade 5) and at least one adult are elgible to participate in the program. Register at any Children's Reference Desk beginning Thursday, December 1, 2011. At least one family member should have a Naperville Public Library card. If you don't live in Naperville, you can still join PAWS TO READ for $5 per child.

Each family will receive a Family Read Aloud log. Once your family has completed the activities, return the log to the library for prizes, a chance to enter the raffle, and to receive the next log. All logs must be returned by February 29, 2012 to earn a prize.
