WEBSTER CITY — Kendall Young Library will be hosting a variety of special events early in February.

Take Your Child To The Library Day — Kendall Young Library is excited to be a part of “Take Your Child to the Library Day” on Saturday. Parents, grandparents and caregivers are invited to bring their child to experience the library and all it has to offer. A few of the special offerings will allow kids to “stamp their own book at check-out,” enter for the chance to be “kid librarian” for a day or enjoy a cookie. Everyone will also have the chance to join the library’s Winter Reading Program — Wild About Reading.

What is “Take Your Child to the Library Day”?

On the first Saturday in February, thousands of libraries across the world celebrate Take Your Child to the Library Day by offering free, fun activities for families. The local library is an ideal place for children to play, discover, make friends, and have fun. Take Your Child to the Library Day is the perfect time to discover some library magic. #TakeYourChildtotheLibraryDay
