The Arlington Public Library is doing its best to introduce little ones to the joys of reading through early childhood literacy baskets, which support early literacy development of babies, ages 0 to 24 months.

Anyone holding a My First Library Card is eligible to enter monthly drawings for a chance to win a literacy basket designed just for babies!

One-and-a-half year old Ezekiel is our latest winner (shown above already enjoying one of his new books.) Ezekiel and his mom have attended the Woodland West's Bouncing Babies program with Ms. Trish for some time now. Ezekiel loves storytime were he can dance along with Ms. Trish and play with the other children each week. Also, he and his mom, Ariel enjoys singing at storytime especially his all-time favorite song, Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.

We hope Ezekiel and his mom will love all the books and the bee counting toy that were in this month's basket!

You too can enter your child (ages 0 to 24 months) in the monthly drawing for an early childhood literacy basket! Join us in all the fun at your local library!

Winning is simple:

1. Pick up a frequent user card from your local library.

2. Each time you and your child attended a library storytime or check out a book using My First Library Card, you will receive a stamp from a library staff.

3. Enter your completed frequent user card in the monthly drawing after acquiring 8 stamps.

4. Your card may be drawn to win a basket full of goodies including books, an educational toy, and much more!

This project is made possible in part by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the Texas State Library and Archives Commission.
