What is Family Place?

A Family Place Library is a center for early childhood information, parent education, emergent literacy, socialization, and family support. Family Place builds on the knowledge that good health, early learning, parent involvement, and supportive communities play a critical role in young children's growth and development. Each Family Place Library features the following core elements:

• A bright, colorful, and welcoming space for young children and their parents.
• A collection of books, toys, videos, music, and other materials for babies, toddlers, parents, and service providers
• Access to resources that emphasize emergent literacy, reading readiness, and parent education.
• Developmentally appropriate programming, such as baby and toddler storytimes for younger children and their parents.
• Outreach to new and underserved populations.
• The Parent-Child Workshop is a five-week workshop featuring local professionals, such as nutritionists, speech and language therapists, and child development experts, who serve as resources for parents.

The first three years of a child's life lay the foundation for learning. Get the tools and resources you need to give your child the best possible start.
