By reading regularly with your child, you give them the biggest boost toward a successful education. MyBook provides every child who qualifies, in kindergarten through 2nd grade, with five free, carefully selected books to keep. If your child qualifies, all you have to do is sign up, pick up a new book each month, and read with your child!
The MyBook program is made possible by the Friends of the Arlington Public Library.
