Youth Services

GOAL 1 -- Libraries provide experiences that have impact beyond the program. Examples include, coding, drawing, painting, writing, photography, Yoga, and sewing . GOAL 2 -- Libraries offer age appropriate literacy based programming to help children increase their reading and writing skills. Libraries don’t teach children to read and write, but give them ways to practice and grow. GOAL 3 -- Libraries make intentional efforts to reach children most in need of what the library provides during the summer.
