'Parents As Literacy Partners' Workshop


Are you interested in extending your library’s reach into homes throughout your community? Enlist parents to be your literacy partners! Join Mary Cameron and other regional youth services librarians to discover an exciting program to train parents to work with their children for school success by promoting literacy at home. The initial sessions will outline how the program works, what will be necessary to make it successful, and what your library will need to commit to the program, as well as give you a chance to ask questions and share ideas. Actual training sessions for implementing the program will be offered at a later date, in time to get the program in place for next school year.

The sessions are free and a light breakfast will be provided. Ottumwa will host a session on August 23 and Mt. Pleasant will host a session on September 7.
