About This Grant

The Children's Literature and Equity Resources Center (CLERC) at the COCC Barber Library & Learning Commons provides a dedicated space and collection of literature selected on the merits of expanding dialogue and understanding about the diversity of human experience. This grant aims to support efforts to expand this collection as well as its impact by providing a related resource to the ampus community, future and current educators, and early learning advocates throughout Central Oregon. To promote its meaningful use, COCC's Early Childhood program in collaboration with the Library will offer related programming opportunities as part of professional workshops and trainings open to the early learning profressionals and practitioners in the region and beyond.
