Kids in the Stacks – Take Your Child to Library Day 2026!

Feeling stuck indoors? We’ve got the perfect cure!

On Saturday, February 28, the UConn Law Library invites families, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends to a special Take Your Child to the Library Day: Centennial Edition, a morning of creativity, exploration, and celebration from 9:00 a.m. to Noon.

A Nationwide Celebration of Library Magic

The UConn Law Library is proud to join a nationwide initiative that encourages families to visit their local libraries and highlights the essential role libraries play in children’s lives.

As the organizers of Take Your Child to the Library Day remind us:

“Your local library is an ideal place for children to play, discover, make friends, and have fun. And Take Your Child to the Library Day is the perfect time to discover some library magic.”  — Take Your Child to the Library Day

Libraries are spaces for imagination, learning, civic engagement, and community. This centennial celebration celebrates our past while inspiring the next generation of library users.
