The Boston Public Library (or one of its many branches) offers families a remarkable learning resource for all ages. You can start bringing your child to the kid’s activities at just about any age – it is never too early to get your child hooked on books. The library offers morning Story Time sessions for babies, toddlers, pre-schoolers and kindergarten children and you can also bring your child to start learning about music, film and dance at one of the regular children’s film shows and family dance programs. Older children can receive homework help and mentoring after school and there are always librarians on hand to suggest age-appropriate books to capture the imagination of even the most reluctant readers.
