Winter break is coming up – what's your plan? If you need help keeping your children entertained and maybe even learning while they're on break from school, The Seattle Public Library has many solutions, from new Read-Along books to streaming stories, TV and movies.
Find more programs and services at www.spl.org or at any of the Library's 27 locations (www.spl.org/Hours), and find more ideas on our list of 50-plus things to do through the Library at www.spl.org/50things.
For young kids (ages 1-6)
Read-Along book kits at the Northeast Branch
Check out a Read-Along book: Families can now borrow from the Library's new collection of Read-Along picture books, which come with an attached MP3 player on the inside front cover that reads the book aloud – no internet access needed. The collection includes over 50 titles and 500 copies, and has books in Spanish as well. Just go to your nearest branch and ask where the Read-Along books are.
Stream books and animated stories. You can also use your Library card to access services such as TumbleBooks, virtual books that let your kids read along, and BookFlix, a service with animated stories in both Spanish and English – just click on a category such as animals, adventure, music and rhyme and celebrations. Let these services do the reading for you! Read more of this post
