Most public libraries have a children's section that not only has books but also has many special kids programs. Including reading and homework help.
Here are a few things you can do to introduce your children to the library:
Include children--even toddlers--in trips to the library, and go often.
As soon as you can, help your child get a library card. Some libraries will issue a card as soon as a child can write his/her name.
Find out if your library has computers and how your children can use them to learn or upgrade skills.
Encourage your children to use library to find information for their homework.
Encourage your children to ask for help from you and the librarian in finding books abd materials.
Work with the librarian to teach older children how to find things on their own.
Teach your children how to take care of themselves in public places, especially if they use the library alone. Stress common sense guidlines for behavior in the library.
