I think thats the biggest thing you can do for a child. Read to them and they will in turn pick up books on there own and enjoy reading. I read to the my oldest niece every night before bed and when she was about 5 years old we went and got her, her very first library card. My niece Monique I wasn't there to read to every night. By this time I had moved away from home and so no one read to her every night and she doesn't enjoy reading as much. Then I was back home when my nephew was born and so I read to him every night. So like I was saying I think it is all about reading to a child when they are little and getting them hooked on reading.
