Make Reading Fun With These Simple Reading Tips for Kids
Reading looks very different before children learn to read on their own. Infants to preschoolers are developing pre-literacy skills with almost everything they do – and that includes how they interact with books.

The third week of October is Ontario Library Week!
We’d like to thank our partners at Brampton Library and Mississauga Library for all their hard work in the community. You can find your local library by visting bramptonlibrary.ca and mississauga.ca/library.
