One of the most important things parents can do is to help their children to develop a love of reading and a love of the library. Parents can: take their children to the library; give books rather than other types of gifts; work with librarians to acquaint children with the library. Teachers can help children by assigning simple projects which require library usage. Librarians are generally helpful individuals who will assist children with the card catalog and the Dewey Decimal System. Library cards and bookmarks are important cards to have. Good library habits include: (1) a visit to the library at least once a month; (2) taking children to browse through newly acquired books and magazines; (3) use of the library to procure information for school and other events; (4) "adopting" an author; and (5) helping children build their own library if possible.
