Durango Public Library is promoting early literacy by providing a free picture book to every 4-year-old in Durango, Monday through April 22, while supplies last, as part of the statewide One Book Colorado program.
Families of 4-year-olds may stop by Durango Public Library, 1900 East Third Ave., during regular library hours starting Monday to pick up a copy of the book in either English or Spanish. One Book Colorado books will also be available at Sunnyside and Fort Lewis Mesa Branch Libraries.
This year’s One Book Colorado finalists are: “Penguins Love Colors” by Sarah Aspinall; “Penguinaut!” by Marcie Colleen; and “Pig the Pug” by Aaron Blabey. The winning book will be announced Monday.
One Book Colorado is a statewide initiative that aims to support family reading at home and instill a love of learning in Colorado children.
