Family Reading Week, Symphony Part of Children’s Fall Programs

Fall Reading Programs at the Coeur d’Alene Public Library will include Special Idaho Family Reading Week activities Nov. 13-19 and a Saturday With the Symphony.
An Evening Family Story Time will be hosted by the Seagraves Children’s Library on Tuesday, Nov. 15, 6:30-7:30 p.m. The evening will include a puppet show, games, and crafts. Throughout the week there will be daily jokes, giveaways, and prize drawings.
The next Saturdays With the Symphony concert with woodwind performers from the Coeur d’Alene Symphony will be Nov. 19 beginning at noon in the Community Room. This program is supported by a grant from the Friends of the Coeur d’Alene Public Library.
All programs are free and open to the public.
Families can also participate in ReadyRosie, an early education tool using video modeling and mobile technology to meet and equip parents where they are. ReadyRosie has hundreds of brief videos in English and Spanish that model everyday interactions in familiar environments with real parents.
The service is available to residents within zip code areas that include 83814, 83815, 83816, and 83835. Families can register for the free service at ReadyRosie.com/register. The project is sponsored by the Coeur d’Alene School District.
