What a wonderful idea, Baby Lit Kits!!! Anyone checked one out yet and can give a review? LOVE the Lafayette Public Library!!

Reed the Otter is here to announce that the library now has Baby Lit Kits available to check out at any library location! Each kit comes with themed books, music, a QR code that links to our LPL YouTube channel where we have recorded the songs and movements, as well as theme-specific early literacy activities and tips. Call or visit any library location to learn more!
Reed also wanted to remind everyone to sign up their children for 1000 Books Before Kindergarten, where children get to embrace the joy of reading while earning recognition for reaching reading milestones!

Even better, check out Glow Jump every Friday from 7–11 PM. The park transforms after dark with lasers, music, and blacklights into an epic jumping dance club.🎶
