Recorded Program
In public libraries, analyzing population data and drawing on other critical research helps librarians demonstrate the growing need to deliver enhanced early literacy supports directly to parents and caregivers. By leveraging partnerships in early childhood education and public health sectors, librarians are better able to serve hard-to-reach communities. Panelists will share their dynamic and responsive approaches to meeting the learning needs of adults who are raising and caring for young children across diverse contexts.
