We offer a variety of activities to encourage reading for entertainment, inspiration and delight. These include weekly storytimes for the parents and caregivers of infants (0-18 months old), toddlers (18-24 months old) and preschoolers. These storytimes are a total learning experience for children under 5 years of age, their parents and caregivers, offering songs, finger plays, stories, movement activities and crafts. Attendance helps to build essential skills such as introducing the concepts of colors, numbers and shapes and reinforces emerging skills needed to read such as recognition of the alphabet, rhyming and word patterns. We are always adding new programs so check your local <a href=\"\/hours-and-locations\/\">branch<\/a>\u00a0for what is planned and ask a staff member about what is available at your local library.<\/p>\n<p>Our\u00a0<a href=\"\/services\/adult-literacy-program\/\">Families for Literacy (FFL)<\/a>\u00a0programs provides early literacy development activities to families of adult learners participating in the Literacy program.<\/p>\n<p>The program is targeted to children ages 0 to 5 and their caregivers. This proactive program will provide the child\u2019s caregiver with the necessary information and skills to promote reading to their child.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_separator][vc_column_text]<strong>Ready4K Texting Service<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Solano County Library Literacy Services is working with Read4K to bring research-based messaging to families with kids ages 0-9 years.
