12 Things Dads Can Do With Their Kids at the Library

1. Look for DVDs, videogames, books, and manga with your child

3. Join the summer or winter reading clubs – lots of great shows that are free and rewards for summer reading
4. Come to a storytime
5. Work on homework together using their many databases
6. Look at the displays and talk about what you discover together. (Check out the library's  old telephone display!)
7. Participate in the Lego Club offered throughout the year
8. Play computer games
9. Make up a knowledge search game where kids race to find the answer to 10 questions (Sort of a scavenger hunt for information)
10. Check out the library for exclusive deals they have Georgia State Parks and Zoo Atlanta
11. Oh, almost forgot! Read with them! Studies have shown that children who were read to for 20 minutes each day, starting from birth, start school able to read and ready to learn
