Take Your Child to the Library Day is observed annually on the first Saturday of February in libraries across the United States and Canada. This day encourages parents to take their children to the library, promoting reading habits and fostering a love for books. The initiative aims to create memorable experiences for children, helping them learn about responsibility and engage with library resources. It was initiated by Nadine Lipman as a way to stimulate interest in local libraries and has been celebrated since its inception in 2011. Libraries often participate by offering various events and activities to attract families and enhance their visits.
