Take Your Child to the Library Day (TYCLD) is an international initiative that encourages families everywhere to take their children to their local library. Launched in 2011 right here in Connecticut by librarians Nadine Lipman (Waterford Public Library, retired) and Caitlin Augusta (Stratford Library) with artist Nancy Elizabeth Wallace, TYCLD raises community awareness about the importance of the library in the life of a child, and promotes library services and programs for children and families.
Killingworth library will be celebrating Take Your Child to the Library Day with a free book for children that come to the library anytime Saturday, February 5, and children that check out a book will get a free mini plush tiger (While supplies last)!
