I really hope this info will help parents at this forum
This thursday I took my DD to the library,( we go there 2-3 times a week) and they told me about the program "reading is fundamental" at our branch.
We got a library card for my daughter, and stepped by a room where they have this Program.
Basically you getting a free book once you sign up, and then every 3rd visit to the library on Thursday (that is the day for our branch)
+ on the week of your child's birthday you get additional book.
The Books are really nice, they are paperbacks, by Eric Carle, Dr. Seuss, etc.
I highly recommend this program!
