Broward Reads for the Record Storytime at Parkland Library (ages 2 -5)
Thursday, October 26th at 10:30 a.m.
Let’s celebrate our love for books and reading with music, movement, a craft and the story With Lots of Love by Jenny Torres Sanchez. Jumpstart’s Read for the Record is the world’s largest shared reading experience and celebrates and supports children’s early language and social-emotional development. The event– a day of celebration and fun– builds an intergenerational community through reading and raises awareness around the critical importance of early literacy and access to inclusive literature that fosters belonging and connection by reflecting children’s own experiences as well as showing the experiences of others.
