Little Funk Library

What comes to mind when you think of the month of February? For me it’s I Love To Read Month and Valentine’s Day. Well did you know that February is also Black History Month, LGBTQ History Month and has Groundhog Day.

I Love to Read month is often celebrated through various reading related activities in schools in attempts to build interests in books as well as literacy skills at all ages. Maybe a novel is not your child’s thing, let’s remember all types of literacy are equally important; be it graphic novels, comics or magazines. Audio Books are also a great tool to use, especially for those who struggle with reading as it helps improve vocabulary, comprehension and critical thinking skills. So get creative with your reading time, grab a new book, read out loud and find that spark of joy!

Visiting Little Free Libraries this month, depending on locations, you may find a specific selection of books as many stewards support the awareness and celebration of Black History Month and LGBTQ History Month by providing books based on these topics or by authors who identify as. I encourage you to seek out the wonderful books that tend to circulate during this month and share them near and far. If you have any books that fit these two topics and would like to donate, we are always looking for diverse books in our library and would gladly take them to share.

If your looking for some steamy reading material, we will be placing some romance books onto our top shelf of our library. Let’s see what Mr. Groundhog discovers for more days of cozy reading or not.
