So I was one of those moms. I read to my children out loud before they even escaped my womb. I read poetry, Dr. Seuss and chapter books for hours . . . it was something I dreamt of doing when I was young because I had this crazy fascination with storytelling and I loved being read to. (I secretly still do . . . don’t tell) It was just something I did.
As a preschool teacher, I see the fruits of those who have someone reading to them at home. They can sit still a lil bit longer, they have a love of books and have a strong imagination and vocabulary. Kids that read or are read to, do better in school, period.*

As a Murrieta resident, we are sooo fortunate to have a library that is invested in our littlest ones. The staff, the facility and all the books are top notch! They have programming year round that fosters the love of literature and stimulates their creativity. Wednesdays beginning September 4th the library will start their fall storytelling series. Check out the Murrieta Public Library Facebook Page for specific times and other important information.
