The Public Library of Steubenville and Jefferson County will be celebrating Children's Book Week April 30 through May 6. Visit any branch and enter your child's name for the chance to win a prize drawing.
This annual celebration of children's books and reading was established in 1919 and is the longest-running national literacy initiative in the country. At the urging of Franklin K. Mathiews, librarian of the Boy Scouts of America, Children's Book Week was founded to focus on the need of quality materials for children's reading enjoyment to encourage childhood literacy.
Enjoy exploring the library locally, viewing quality book selections, programming and even online databases for children, in person or online.
