Be on the lookout for the Reading Castle! Beginning on Monday, May 18, all Madison Public Library locations will have a picture of the Reading Castle hidden somewhere in the library! Spot the picture, win a prize - a cool tattoo! Kids have the opportunity to win a prize a day, through Tuesday, June 30.

Horning are featured in the just-out Fall/Winter 2008 Issue of Dane County Parent in an article called “Keep On Readin’: The Benefits of Reading to School Children.” Both librarians encourage parents and caregivers to read aloud to their children to expose children to more words, to build vocabulary and listening skills, to spend quality time together, to share thoughts and values and to develop a love of reading.
