Library Reinforces Healthy Habits

The Dighton Library connects healthy eating and physical acitivty with reading activities.

• Kids received a calendar each month with healthy eating and physical activity ideas.
• To reinforce the idea of the reasons to eat healthy, once a month a special healthy treat was served and books pertaining to the topic of the month were displayed.
• Activity pages were available on most days and on Fridays exercising at home was encouraged.

"The table display made a good conversation piece between adults and the children. Grandparents even took the activity pages for their grandchildren. Many pople thought the food table display was neat and unusual to be in a library, but when we tied everything together with books, puzzles, activities, guessing games, and snacks; it worked."
