Suggested Family Activity ✏ Encourage A Young Writer
Encourage your youngest family members to be a writer today. Maybe we’ll see their names in our library’s collection one day! All you need is paper and a pencil to get them started. Young children can even use crayons or markers to draw their story if they cannot write yet. If they want to make it several pages long, an adult can write down what is happening in the story, either on the back of the piece of paper or on a separate piece of paper. (It will probably help to number the pages, so they do not get out of order.)
In honor of National Library Week, try this writing prompt to get their creative juices flowing: Have them write the silliest version they can come up for “Why My Library Book is Overdue”.
