Each year on Jan. 27, families across Canada join in celebrating this special day with activities and events coordinated by libraries, literacy organizations and schools. This year the Oakville Public Library, with the generous support of Oakville Honda, is celebrating Family Literacy Day with a concert by the singing duo the Smudge Fundaes. This dynamic duo from St. Catharines, Ontario has been touring Canada and the United States for 12 years with a special brand of musical fun. Performing at the XL Super Bowl Winterblast in Detroit, Michigan was one of its most memorable experiences. The local concert is being dubbed A Double Scoop of Musical Fun. It will be held in the auditorium at Holy Trinity Catholic High School, 2420 Sixth Line (north of Upper Middle) on Sunday, Jan. 27 at 2 p.m. Tickets cost $3 or $10 for a family of five and are available at the Information Desk at Central Branch Children's Department, Glen Abbey Branch, Iroquois Ridge Branch, Woodside Branch and White Oaks Branch. This program is suitable for all ages, but especially those aged one to seven. For more information about the Smudge Fundaes concert please call 905-8152045. Early literacy is a focus at the Oakville Public Library all year round with our Every Child Ready to Read initiative. Learning starts at birth. Research shows that children learn the skills they need to read years before they start school. t To ensure every child in Oakville is given the best possible chance to succeed, the Oakville Public Library has adopted the Every Child Ready To Read program developed by the Public Library Association. With trained staff, endless resources and hands-on sessions, we're making sure every child in Oakville is ready to read. For more information about this groundbreaking initiative, please visit www.opl.on.ca. Family literacy can be developed and enjoyed in many fun ways. In addition to sharing books, why not write a shopping list, get out a favourite family recipe, play a word game or sing some songs. Engaging children from an early age in these kinds of language based activities not only strengthens family bonds, but helps build vocabulary and develop the six skills necessary to become a successful reader.
