Free Family Literacy Fun!
On January 27th, Canadians nationwide will be celebrating Family Literacy Day. At Toronto Public Library, we celebrate Family Literacy Day all month long. Therefore, in keeping with the extended festivities, we invite you to celebrate Family Literacy Month at the library. While we encourage families to play and read together all year round, January is extra special. Throughout this month, families can enjoy puppet shows, pajama storytimes, games and many activities together. Come join us at McGregor Park Branch for a spooky Camp-out or create amazing clay art with the Honourary Chair of Family Literacy Day 2016, Barbara Reid, at Fairview & Malvern Branches.
There is so much to do at the library! Check out our Family Literacy Month page for more exciting programs from Book Tasting to Book Binding. Wow!
Children can also participate in Family Literacy Bingo for a chance to win a prize pack! Bingo cards are available at your local branch and can also be downloaded (PDF). Follow us on Twitter (hashtag #FamilyLiteracy) and tune in to the library's Facebook page for more updates and contest information. Families can enjoy great books recommended by Toronto Public Library. The Family Literacy Month Reading List is available at all branches and online.
Did you know that reading books in any language will improve your child's literacy skills? Even reading wordless picture books together will help children understand the power of storytelling. For more tips on reading with your child, watch these informative videos.
Enjoy…

Book bingo sounds like so much fun. I’m going to try with the kids. Can I give it to any library?
Hello Debbie,
Yes, you can drop off the completed bingo card at any Toronto Public Library branch. Have fun!
