Sequoya Branch children's librarian Karen Lucas and former library staffer and current Director of the UW's Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC) K.T. Horning are featured in the just-out Fall/Winter 2008 Issue of Dane County Parent in an article called “Keep On Readin’: The Benefits of Reading to School Children.” Both librarians encourage parents and caregivers to read aloud to their children to expose children to more words, to build vocabulary and listening skills, to spend quality time together, to share thoughts and values and to develop a love of reading.
