We Love Reading (Valente)
Celebrate reading with fellow new readers at the Valente Branch Library! We will explore a book from the Beginning Reader collection, spend time reading together, and do an activity! Copies of the book will be provided via the library; participants may check out a copy to take home after the program.
This is open to students in kindergarten through second grade who are practicing reading independently; their grown-ups are welcome to join us.
Registration is required. Contact the library at 617-349-4015 for more information.
