Take Your Child to the Library Day

Take Your Child to the Library Day (TYCLD) is an international initiative that encourages families everywhere to take their children to their local library. Launched in 2011 in Connecticut by librarians Nadine Lipman (Waterford Public Library, retired) and Caitlin Augusta (Stratford Library) with artist Nancy Elizabeth Wallace, TYCLD raises community awareness about the importance of the library in the life of a child and promotes library services and programs for children and families. Join the celebration!

The 12th Annual Take Your Child to the Library Day will take place on Saturday, February 4, 2023 – though you can celebrate on any other date in February that suits your library, your community, and your goals.
