SALT LAKE CITY — The Salt Lake County Library is inviting children, families and caregivers to visit their neighborhood branch on Saturday, Feb. 4, in celebration of International Take Your Child to the Library Day.
Take Your Child to the Library Day is an initiative to raise community awareness about the role libraries play in children’s lives and to introduce or reintroduce the public to the many library programs and services available to them.
Children who visit a library on Feb. 4 will receive a sticker, a high-five, coloring sheets and a bookmark.
Storytimes will be offered at the following locations and times: Columbus Library, 2530 S. 500 East, 10 a.m.; Herriman Library, 5380 W. Main, 10:30 a.m.; Magna Library, 2675 S. 8950 West, 10:30 a.m.; Millcreek Library, 2266 E. Evergreen Ave., 11 a.m. and 5 p.m.; West Jordan Library, 8030 S. 1825 West, noon; Holladay Library, 2150 E.
