Kit & Kid-Oodles of Books

About This Grant

The goal of Kit & Kid-Oodles of Books is to provide early literacy outreach services to daycare providers in Tualatin. Currently, these care centers are unable to attend early literacy programs at the library. They also have limited or no early literacy training. This grant would create a rotating collection of kits containing books and early literacy resources for children ages birth to age five. The library will hire an early literacy professional who will provide instruction for care providers on how to read to children, how to extend the story time experience, and how to impart early literacy messages through books, songs, and activities.
