In 2011, retired librarian Nadine Lipman founded Take Your Child to the Library Day (TYCLD) at the Waterford Public Library in Connecticut with help from librarian Caitlin Augusta and author and illustrator Nancy Elizabeth Wallace. Since then, it has been a great ‘cabin fever’ event for many in New Hampshire. Bringing a child to the library opens a world of connection and inspiration, and it sparks a love for reading! As Library Director in Pembroke, I would encourage caregivers to bring children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews to a local library this year on Feb. 1. Get a library card, enjoy the space, connect with your neighbors and, of course, keep on reading.
