The library is a fun and free way parents and caregivers can instill a love of learning in their child. It’s more than a home for books, but a place of community, cultural experiences and technology. Children can participate in storytime, explore the gardens or play areas and play learning games on the computer; these are all activities that can help a child prepare for kindergarten. The library is also a great place for parents to spend quality time with their child. First 5 San Diego encourages parents, caregivers and their young children to visit our local libraries:
