“By reading with your child, you also help cultivate a lasting love of reading. Reading for pleasure can help prevent conditions such as stress, depression and dementia.” (University of Liverpool)
I know our Community Libraries are closed to the public, but they are still offering the following services:
Get a library card over the phone: Call 604-436-5400 Monday to Friday, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. No ID needed.
Get information by phone or email: Want to know how to borrow e-books? What community help is available? Where to learn about something? Call the library at 604-436-5400 or email eref@bpl.bc.ca.
The library has English books you can borrow from home and read on a screen, including picture books that are perfect for Kindergarten kids and audio books the whole family can enjoy.
There are good options for stories online, any time.
Anyone who wants e-book suggestions for kids can call or email the library or look at these lists by grade.
In my search, I also found this link to some wonderful Indigenous Story Books.
Thanks To Tina Lee from the McGill Branch for this information.
