Interactive spaces
Fostering early literacy is not just about reading books to children. It’s about interaction! Creating an interactive space in the library encourages parents and caregivers and children to spend time together doing a fun activity. Whether your interactive space is teeny tiny and temporary or large and long-lived, interactive spaces can enhance the development of important literacy skills.
Take a peek at the interactive space at the Almena City Library!
Here’s a peek at the Library District #2 of Linn County–La Cygne, KS’s Early Literacy Space and be sure to check out what they are doing at the Arkansas City Public Library, too! The Norton Public Library is also creating a space!
