Preschool period runs from the child's birth to school age and it's significantly different from other periods. It is divided into the period of early childhood, which lasts from birth to three years and preschool period, which lasts from three years up to school age. In the way to adopt reading skills, child needs preparation that starts from his birth. Concern about the development of pre-reading skills must be derived from daily children's activities and games and communication with adults. How to love a book and treat it with respect, the child will also learn from adults if they see that they live with books, borrow them and returns from the library, if they buy them and read it regularly. Also, it would be advisable to lead preschool children to the library how would it became a closer and familiar place where they can leaf the book in the children's section while adults choose books for themselves. Furthermore, the library is very important for strengthen parental skills, because it offers a lot of programs for preschool children, as for parents. A parent must be well informed about everything that society offers as far as education of the child and choose the best for their child. In the first part of my work I will induce what skill reading actually is and why is it even necessary for the child's further development. Furthermore, the theme will be developed in an attempt to find an answer to the question to read or narrate to your child and about the advantages and disadvantages of both variants. Great significance for preschool children is the game because it is a form of early education and it's very important that child spend the most od their time playing. Also, I will discuss the chapter that refers to the picture books because they are the first books which every child meets and they indicate on the importance and beauty of reading and implant love of the written word. I will write about the functions of picture books, various types of picture books, how to recognize good and quality picture book, how to achieve a comfortable atmosphere for reading with a child, and what means the term of the dialogical reading picture books. For developing pre-reading skills a very important role has the environment which surrounds child. Therefore, in this work I will discuss about the role of parents as well as libraries and librarians who represent the largest source of information for the child from his birth and they are in the best position to encourage child and be his curiosity. Also, very important thing is cooperation between parents and librarians because the parents get involved in the educational process, mostly through the playground which has almost every public library, where parents together with the librarian participate in the implementation of children's activities. In the research part of my work, I have spent a questionnaire with parents of children who come to the playroom in the City Library in Virovitica, which has related on their opinion about the playroom and its benefits, and about their own reading habits to their children.
