BOOK SOME TIME WITH YOUR KIDS |
Research proves sharing books with children is one of the best things you can do for them. Just 15 minutes a day has a major impact on your child’s cognitive, social and emotional well-being. That is why it's important to Book Some Time With Your Kids this summer!
As you gather together for book time, we encourage you to share photos of you and the children in your life reading together with us via email to entered into a prize drawing! You can also tag us @ShorewoodLib and use the hashtag #BookSomeTimeWithYourKids on social media to help spread the word about the benefits of book time.
You can learn more about the benefits of reading together on our blog HERE.

In May, we said goodbye to Young Adult Librarian Lisa Quintero. Lisa has been a librarian at the Shorewood Public Library for the past 8.5 years. During that time, she established our Adult Graphic Novel Collection, expanded our Adult World Languages Collection, co-hosted the Shorewood Stacks Podcast, and worked with our Teen Advisory Board among many other projects.
"It has been a pleasure working with the Shorewood community. I have really enjoyed helping children and teens learn more about the things they are curious about, from coding to crafts. I will miss seeing everyone at the library each day - although you may still see me as a patron!"
Lisa will be going back to school this summer to pursue a new career in speech therapy. Please join us in wishing Lisa the best of luck on her next chapter!
