Read For The Record Storytime & Garden Craft

Read for the Record is a nationwide initiative dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of early literacy. On Thursday, February 26, 2026, classrooms, libraries, and communities come together to share a single book. This year, we are excited to share "See Marcus Grow" - a vibrant picture book that introduces young learners and readers to the wonders of gardening while exploring themes of curiosity, discovery, nurturing and growth. After the story we will have a garden themed craft activity. For accessibility accommodations (ex. ASL), please fill out the online form at sccld.org/accessibility7+days prior to the event. If you need assistance with the form, speak with a staff member at yourlocal library, call (408) 540-3945, or email us at ask@sccl.org.
