Celebrate Children's Book Week-Win a Book!

Did you know that May 7-13th is Children's Book Week? Established in 1919, it is the longest-running literacy initiative in the country, and gives us a chance to celebrate and promote reading and books for youth. There are many ways you can mark this momentous week, such as reading with or to your children, encouraging your teenagers to read, and visiting your local library for books and inspiration. And what might you find at Brownsburg Public Library? I'm so glad you asked!

In our Children's Department, we have a Pin the Title on the Donkey wall display, located just to the right of Character Corner (if you're not sure where this is, ask a staff member for directions). If your child pins the cover of 1of 5 books we've selected on the Donkey, they have a chance to win that book, along with a $5 Library Shop gift certificate! There will be 1 lucky winner, and we'll be taking entries through Saturday May 12th. In addition to this, we also have special coloring and activity sheets (located on the wooden table where the coloring sheets normally live), and bookmarks by the Children's Department Express Checks.

By the Customer Services Desk, you will find 2 glass displays - 1 featuring a selection of Children's picture books and fiction, and 1 holding a variety of Young Adult titles...many of which have Adult appeal! Thank you so much for supporting this wonderful literacy initiative, and we cannot wait to see you in the library this week! Please call (317)852-3167 option 2 with any questions, or e-mail us at askus@brownsburg.lib.in.us.
