One Book, OWWL Kids highlights the importance of sharing books in early literacy development. Reading together develops vocabulary and comprehension, nurtures a love for reading, and can strengthen family and community bonds. This program is sponsored by OWWL Library System Coordinated Outreach Services. The materials were created by Krystina Dippel (Victor Farmington Library) and Sarah Matthews (Wadsworth Library), and the graphics were created by Matthew Kominiarek (OWWL Library System).
