The Lakewood City Schools in conjunction with the Lakewood Public Library asks Lakewood to come together for children during the Week of the Young Child April 13 – 19, 2008. As part of the national Week of the Young Child celebrated across the country, Lakewood is honoring young children and all those who make a difference in children’s lives.

All young children need and deserve high-quality early learning experiences that will prepare them for life and Lakewood has a great opportunity to do our part to help young children. The Week of the Young Child is a time to recognize the importance of early learning for all young children and to bring Lakewood together to help give all young children a great start.

We will celebrate Tuesday, April 15, 2008 from 7 - 8 p.m. in the Lakewood Public Library’s Auditorium. We will have story time and tour the new library. Children will be given an activity to take home to make with their families. Also, children will be able to apply for new library cards.
