Reading to young children gives them an early love of books and encourages them to become lifelong readers. You can start your child's reading adventure with the "Begin with Books" Toddler and Preschool theme kits described below. Use the Library's online catalog to order these kits. By placing a hold, kits will be delivered to the branch of The Seattle Public Library of your choice.
