GIFT GIVING? LET THE LIBRARY HELP!

GIFT GIVING? LET THE LIBRARY HELP!

If your family gives gifts for Christmas, birthdays, or other special occasions, the library can help! Whether your child is a reluctant reader or a voracious one, consider giving them a gift card to a bookstore or let them buy a magazine subscription. This way, your child gets to decide what they want to read!


Many families opt to pass down old cell phones to their child. This could be a great way to save money and give your child some extra freedom while still monitoring their usage. If you are thinking about giving a child your old phone, please consider the following:


-Clear everything off the phone


-Download some kid friendly apps


-Consider tracking the phone using a phone monitoring app


-Discuss expectations ahead of time


-Limit screen time
