It's 10:29 a.m. on Friday at the Willow Glen Library. Children's librarian Kathy Boyd picks up four books off her desk and heads over to an old rocking chair near an empty fireplace. She steps carefully over teddy bears, baby blankets, Dr. Seuss books and about 30 boys and girls who are anxiously awaiting their weekly, half-hour dose of storytime. Nearly two decades age, the National Commission on Reading published a report called "Becoming a Nation of Readers." Today, parents, teachers, reading experts and even our local librarians stand by what the report had to say: "The single most important activity for building the knowledge required for eventual success in reading is reading aloud to children."
