Family Reading Traditions: Childhood Treasures Children form very close emotional
attachments to books during childhood. Take note of your children’s very favorite books as they grow, and once outgrown, set them aside. Gift wrap and present these treasures on your child’s 18th birthday. Source: familyreading.org
The Family Resource Centers in Tioga County are funded, in part, through a federal grant administered by the New York State Children and Family Trust Fund, a program of the NYS Office of Children and Family Services. Other funders include Tioga County Department of Social Services, Tioga County Youth Bureau, Floyd Hooker Foundation, Waverly Community Chest, and Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tioga County.
