This program establishes a place for children to visit a parent who is currently incarcerated at the 利县 拘留所 in a comforting, 儿童的环境. The program promotes the shared time of a child reading to their parent and allowing the parent to provide positive feedback and acknowledgment of the experience. The supervising parent can select an 年龄-appropriate book for their child to read provided by the Sheriff’s Office through the library. 孩子不仅从父母那里获得阅读的经验, 但也包括他们通常不会经历的图书所有权. After the visit, the child is allowed to keep the book (free of charge) as a reminder of the visit. The visit also exposes the family to other available services from the library.
