Sunset Heights Elementary School students visited Kendall Young Library Monday afternoon to read books and get acquainted with the library.

An estimated 300 students come in once a month from September to May.

Kendall Young Library Children’s Librarian Linda Brown explained the importance of getting kids interested in reading and getting them familiarized with what the library offers.

“It’s important to get them interested in other books that we have from the school and also I want them to be familiar with the library and comfortable here,” Brown said, “also they probably will come to some of the programs too, once they come here and we get to know them.”

“We just love the kids coming here because we get to know so many more kids that live in the community and they get to know us,” said Brown.
