"January is Picture Book Month, and the Contra Costa County Library system is celebrating with the theme Bundle Up with Picture Books. The benefits of reading picture books with young (and not so young) children can't be overemphasized. They help children learn about the structure of a story while building vocabulary and comprehension. They're also a collective experience between a child or group of children and a trusted adult. Reading books together builds a bond that is very special and unique."
"Bundle up with picture books next month and every month. Stop by any branch to enjoy activities that include a cozy seek-and-find, hot cocoa craft and a book bundle checkout challenge. Visit the library system online at ccclib.org to explore Bundle Up booklists, discover more related events and virtually log activities and reading time. 2026 book list: Looking to start the new year with a fresh list of books?"
