What people are saying about
Stories to Share...
Jo-Ann Citrigno, Glace Bay - "Stories
to Share is a wonderful program. It is great to discover
books that are new to us but are tried and true favorites. Our first bagful
was delightful, and we look forward to the remaining 19 bags.”
Lynda Ceresne, Sydney - “My five year-old daughter is really enjoying reading the Stories to Share books and can’t wait to get to the next book bag. It’s great to have a program like this that younger children can sign up for. We love the bright, colourful bags and the book selection is wonderful with a great variety of books chosen by local library staff from among their favourites. What a great way to start a child’s love of reading.”
Faye MacDougall,
Regional Librarian - “Introducing children to reading and the Library at an
early age will help them do better in school, and is a wonderful way to have
lots of fun and spend time together. The Stories to Share
program is a great way for parents to borrow a variety of books that they
can enjoy with their children.”
