Reading allows stimulation of children’s imagination and how they understand the world. Fortunately, libraries exist. Books can be very expensive, or a kid just won’t sit and read at home with all the other distractions. You can bring them to a library, a place made especially to sit and read calmly, and if you become a member, you can borrow your favorite books to finish at home.
Check out this list of the best libraries in and around Phoenix; some of them even host storytime days and many activities for kids!
