Discover the Power of Early Literacy in Your Community

Join us for an engaging webinar exploring how public libraries and school media centers are shaping young lives and fostering confidence through impactful early literacy programs.

Why Early Literacy Matters

Libraries and media centers are the pillars of equitable access to resources, offering every child the chance to succeed in school and excel in STREAM subjects. Stay ahead by incorporating best-in-class programming and safe, secure technology to support school readiness and literacy skill development.

Why Now?

The urgency is clear: over 60% of Wisconsin 4th graders fall short of reading and math proficiency (National Report Card). Libraries have the opportunity to reverse this trend and lead the way in empowering young learners.
