Parents and Caregivers: Home

Information about Library programs, materials, and services for children, teens, and families.

Welcome

Whether you are a new parent, caring for school-age children or have teenagers in your life, we have brought together information we hope will answer your questions about the Library and give you information you can count on about literacy, reading and picking great print books and eBooks.

We have highlighted information about the Library we think will be of interest to you. For complete information about any of our services, please explore the other sections of our website. We update these pages as we come across new research or other sites we think you will find really useful, so keep checking in.

Thank you for visiting! We look forward to serving you and your family.

February is I Love to Read Month

From author visits to family performers and family game nights there is wonderful programming happening at Winnipeg Public Library in February. Visit library branches evenings and Saturdays in February for programming for the whole family and to sign up for a library card!

For the February program schedule visit the Library Program & Events Calendar. Some programs require registration. 

In February libraries will also be hosting THIN AIR KIDS 2025, a celebration of Canadian kids’ books. Libraries across the city will have author visits for families. Stay tuned for more information coming soon.

Early Literacy Info Guide

Providing information and programs to support early literacy is a priority of Winnipeg Public Library. Whether we are connecting you with current research about early literacy or designing and offering free Early Literacy Programs to support early literacy skills, we work to provide you and the children you care for services that are relevant, effective and fun.

We have so much great information to share about this topic that we have a dedicated Early Literacy Info Guide.
