     Libraries are also teaching kids about the fun of reading.The new program Read!Build!Play!adds reading into playtime.As kids listen to a book that is being read aloud，they use Legos （乐高积木） to build images （图象） from the story happily.Today's libraries are always looking for creative programs to bring people into the library.
