Story-Time-To-Go

About This Grant

Story-Time-To-Go is a program with three components aimed at increasing early literacy among underserved children who are not able to access story times offered at the library. A team of trained volunteers will bring a weekly story time to locations where these children are, such as day cares or recreation centers, with an emphasis on reaching low-income preschool age children. The volunteers will use a Story-Time-To-Go kit compiled by trained library professionals; the kits will also be available for checkout by any cardholder, spreading the potential for early literacy development even further. To reach even more children, the library will offer a free Presenting Story Time class teaching the tools for leading effective story times.
