Parachute Branch

The Raising a Reader program provides bookbags filled with books for preschool and daycare children to take home, read with their families, and return for new ones. Children who have participated in this program during the last year are invited to the Parachute Branch Library on April 5, 7, 19, and 21 at 9:30am and 1pm to sign up for a library card, explore the new library facility and the wealth of materials available to them, and receive their special blue "graduation" bag in which they can carry their treasures to and from the library.
