Resources - Parents & Children

Babies are born ready to learn. Early literacy is all the things babies learn before they learn to read and write. The most important thing you can do to foster early literacy is to provide an atmosphere that’s fun, verbal and stimulating. When you read, talk and play with your child, you’re stimulating the growth of your child’s brain and building the connections that will become the building blocks for reading.

The library offers 24/7 access to online resources for general interest and to help with school assignments.
The Homework Help page  lets you choose the homework subject and an assignment keyword.
