All Four Year Olds Get a Free Book! The Library District will also hold a special family event called “Tour de Four” on Saturday, May 18 from 2-4 PM at Old Town Library, 201 Peterson. Representative Joann Ginal will read the chosen book to the children at 2:00 PM in Library Park. Afterwards there will be tables with craft activities set up, followed by a bike/trike parade through Library Park for all the 4 year olds! Local bike organizations are helping to sponsor the afternoon activities. The statewide initiative is called One Book 4 Colorado, and it runs from May 6-20. Any family with a 4-year-old is welcome to come by any of the Poudre River Public Libraries during business hours on these dates to receive a copy of this year’s book “Duck on a Bike” by David Shannon (while supplies last). What is the story about? Watch Gov. John Hickenlooper read it on YouTube. This week is Colorado Literacy Week encouraging reading. Through the One Book 4 Colorado initiative Lt. Gov. Joe Garcia wants to get a book, in English or Spanish, into the hands of every 4-year-old in the state by May 20, an estimated 70,000 books. The project is a collaboration of public libraries and the preschools, with money from private sponsors. For more information on the project go to www.onebook4colorado.org.
