Major Activities

Activity 2

Early literacy programs reach babies and young children, especially those vulnerable to low literacy, during a crucial window for early brain development. Focusing on families with limited resources and reading ability, these programs help parents by encouraging them to become the first, best, and most permanent teachers of their children. Last year, 36,450 children, parents, and caregivers benefitted from Raising A Reader, a program that helps parents and their young children read together at home throughout the year. More than 400 caregivers, educators and home health providers were able to rely on the program to enhance their work with struggling families.

Activity 3

Adult and family programs and financial literacy programs for young families and seniors reached more than 20,000 people. Those impacted by the economic crisis were assisted with an array of financial literacy programs, workshops and events at library branches and outreach centers. The lives of isolated seniors were enhanced by financial literacy programs and instruction on avoiding fraud. Children and adults were also able to participate in free arts, cultural, and instructional programs at branches across the system.
