The State Library of Kansas & the Kansas Center for the Book were once again proud to promote the importance of reading to Kansas preschoolers & other youth.  In our third year of sponsorship, we were excited to offer not one, not two, but THREE books that set a course for learning and are fun to read, too!!  Supporting our endeavor, this website continues to provide program suggestions and opportunity for you to share your related ideas and activity pictures!
