What a fun morning at story hour today! We read about dogs, did a dog craft, and got to visit with Mr Monk our resident therapy dog. Learn more about this and other story time activities on our early literacy blog on our website (link from bio). #meblibnh #meblibnhphotogallery #meblibyouth #maryebartlettlibrary #brentwoodlibrarynh #brentwoodnh #storyhour #storytime #librarydog #mrmonkatmeb

Literacy Tip:
Have fun when sharing fun stories!  The best way to ensure your child(ren) become lifelong readers is to make stories fun.  This means letting go of any reservations you have and sing, laugh, add voices to the character dialog, etc. Kids love it and you just might find yourself having a good time as well!
