Family Literacy Day at Toronto Libraries

momstown is a HUGE supporter of early education and building literacy. momstown brings interactive activities to events, posts various literacy based ideas on our blogs and has a partnership with Scholastic Canada to donate books to our members monthly.



We're thrilled that the Toronto Libraries also have regular programs in place with the same goal - get more kids exposed to reading and literacy skills early. What would we do without our local libraries?

Family Literacy Day is January 27th. Here is a list of the local libaries in our momstown chapter (not a complete list) but the events our chapters think would be a great family adventure.
