OUR PROGRAMS
The Flin Flon Public Library offers a range of different programming, including Read to Me, 1000 Books Before Kindergarten and TD Summer Reading Club.
READ TO ME FAMILY LITERACY PROGRAM
The Flin Flon Public Library is pleased to partner with the Community Adult Learning Centre to offer its Read to Me Family Literacy program. Sessions are held three times per week, two days in the Ruth Betts Community School family room, and one day in the Kinsmen Room downstairs at the Flin Flon Public Library.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Read to Me is for preschool children, aged 2-5, and a parent/caregiver. Younger siblings may also attend.
Read to Me includes themed activities, crafts, books, playtime, and a small snack.
Guest speakers sometimes join to discuss things like nutrition, fire safety, and dental health.
Read to Me is free for everyone, and registration is required to attend. You may sign up for more than one day if you choose.
REGISTRATION INFORMATION
Call/Text Laurence at 204-271-2890 to register. A session began in January 2026, but you can join at any time.
1000 BOOKS BEFORE KINDERGARTEN
NOTE: You can sign up anytime for 1000 Books Before Kindergarten.
The 1000 Books Before Kindergarten challenge is simple: read books to your child, with the goal of reading 1,000 books before kindergarten. This might sound like a lot, but keep in mind that reading one book a day to your child adds up to 365 books per year.
Reading has been associated as an early indicator of academic success, and numerous studies estimate that as many as one in five children have difficulties learning to read. Before public school begins in Kindergarten, parents and caregivers are the first education providers during the critical years of 0-5 years old.
