Our Goal

Our library serves as an early literacy center for the youth in our community. Playing is learning, and through the different activities that we offer, we are building their confidence, writing skills, and vocal identification. The big four early literacy practices are Talk, Read, Sing, and Play. It is our goal to create an environment where we are reinforcing these and setting a positive example in our community.

We made sure that the programs and activities that occur at our library are tailored to meet the wants and needs of our patrons. Our community is predominantly white lower to middle class families, parents with children who want to have a decent variety of activities as options from their local library.

The activities we have in our 12-Month Plan for our library are meant to encourage families of all kind to see how reading can transform into something different with each new book. It doesn’t take much more than reading a book to enhance the critical skills that children need developed at an early age. Our Story Time sessions are just familiar enough that they appear like any other Story Time. But by encouraging different themes and appealing to all of our younger demographic, parents can see that there is so much more to a child’s development than reading a couple of books. The local library has a lot to offer, and it is made up of people who want to see a child grow up realizing that learning something new is never a burden.
