Born to Read Workshop

Critical brain development occurs for every young child between the ages of 0 – 48 months for (1) trust, (2) impulse control, (3) cooperation, (4) independence, (5)thinking skills and (6) motor development. Families with young children need to experience the fabulous programs and the access to resources their public library provides!

The Born to Read District Library Meeting led by Maureen Farley, Born to Read Coordinator for Dauphin County Library System, and Laurell Tarka, volunteer assistant, will give you new ideas and strategies for library programs and community partnerships focused on infants, very young children, and parents. This is your opportunity to learn how to take another step in successfully promoting literacy for young children and increasing library attendance by families. Public libraries have the resources needed to make the difference for very young children and this workshop will provide “tools” to help you.
