More Books Coming to Copenhagen Area Daycares

The Danish government wants to bring more books to young children. It is spending 20 million DKK on this new project. The goal is to reach kids in nurseries, kindergartens, and home day care.

• Funding: The Danish government allocated 20 million DKK.
• Target group: Children in nurseries, kindergartens, and home day care.
• Local hub: Gentofte Central Library handles packages for the Copenhagen region.
• Package content: New children's books and pedagogical supporting guides.
• Action needed: None; daycares receive the packages directly.

Six main central libraries in Denmark will manage the funding. They are in Gentofte, Roskilde, Odense, Vejle, Herning, and Aalborg. These libraries will buy new books. They will also build special book packages with teaching guides for daycare staff.

Gentofte Central Library serves the Capital Region around Copenhagen. Local daycares in Copenhagen will receive these new book sets. For international parents, early reading in daycare is very helpful. It helps young children learn the Danish language quickly. Parents do not need to apply for anything. The new books will come directly to your child's daycare center.
