Connecting with Collections

Webinar July 26 1pm

“While other early childhood professionals acknowledge the importance of reading as part of the learning experience, only libraries open up a world of books, a lifetime’s supply of free reading materials and other resources. Public libraries are the only government-funded agency available to children from babyhood, providing year-round, free access to resources and services that support reading and literacy.” ALIA EARLY LITERACY FRAMEWORK AND STRATEGY FOR AUSTRALIAN PUBLIC LIBRARIES
