At KDL’s Comstock Park branch, our youngest patrons are really enjoying the train table, doll house, barn and dress-up clothes.  Telling stories while playing is an important early literacy skill.  Children are using their imaginations, interacting with each other, and describing what they are doing.  In the process, they are learning new words, how to express themselves and how to have a conversation.  Come in and expect to have lots of fun talking and playing!
