Read and Grow

Do you like to listen to stories? Then it’s time to Read and Grow! Birth and up can join this program by picking up a folder in the youth services area and adding their name to a caterpillar on our wall. Watch your caterpillar grow as you read together with your grown-ups, friends, and family and earn prizes along the way, from stickers to a special reading bag, until your caterpillar turns into a butterfly! You can repeat this program as many times as you’d like.
