Early Literacy Fair gets children comfortable with reading

MOSES LAKE — If you can get children reading and learning early, they’ll never stop. That’s the theory behind the Moses Lake Public Library’s Early Literacy Fair. “We have a variety of what are called the big books,” said children’s librarian Zach Walker, holding up an ABCs book that looked to be about 12 inches by 18. “The letters are all nice and big, so (children) can more easily start with the big stuff and work their way down to the smaller ones.” The Early Literacy Fair is the library’s way to give small children, mostly under 5 years old, a chance to get acquainted with books and other brain-stimulating activities. Several activity stations were set up Thursday in the children’s section of the library, with books, coloring sheets and crayons and activities to engage little hands and young minds.
