“January 2026 Early Literacy Calendar from the Public Library Association. The page shows a month-long grid of daily early-literacy activities for families, organized by categories such as Singing, Counting, Reading, Writing, Playing, and Talking. Each date includes a simple activity—for example, singing a nursery rhyme, counting household objects, retelling a favorite book, going on a scavenger hunt, or drawing together. The design features winter-themed illustrations such as mountains, snow, and friendly animal characters throughout. The calendar is colorful and structured with pastel sections for each week.

At the top, the masthead reads “Public Libraries” in blue and gold, with the subtitle “A Publication of the Public Library Association,” and a banner above that states “The Strategic Planning Issue.”
