March 4th - 8th
We will be celebrating Read Across America Week with some fun dress-up days to encourage reading. Happy Reading!!

From March 1-22, help us create a downpour of books by adding a raindrop to our sky for each book your child reads or someone reads to them. They should be coming home with a reading tracker on Friday to track the number of books read. Please have your child record any books they read and bring the list with them on their library day. They will get to hang a raindrop for every book they read. This is a cooperation between the City of Sioux Falls, Siouxland Public Libraries, and Sioux Falls School District. The goal for the entire program is 300,000 books. Our Oscar Howe Goal is 9,500 books!! Let's get reading!
