Why Should Kids Have All the Fun?!

Your child doesn't have to be the only one to have all the fun reading during PARP Week. Whether you are an avid reader or haven't picked up a book to read for pleasure in a while, we are hoping this post will inspire YOU to take a trip to South Huntington Public Library and discover what it has to offer.  

 Special thanks to Jen O'Connor (Countrywood and Maplewood parent, CW and MW PTA Executive Board Member, and Adult Reference Librarian at SHPL) for sharing the resources found in this post.
