United Through Reading

Record yourself reading a book to share with your child while you are away from home. Did you know the Library provides a cozy space, recording equipment, some props, and a large selection of free books that you can choose from to send to your child? Available books include toddler board books, children’s books, and juvenile chapter books.
Choose between recording your session digitally or via SD card or DVD formats.
This program is available to servicemembers who are deployed or are preparing for a deployment. Servicemembers with children or other young family members including siblings, nieces/nephews, etc., are encouraged to participate in the program.
The experience of reading aloud together eases the stress of separation, encourages literacy, and bridges the distance for families until the service member returns home.
Contact the Library to schedule your recording.
