Dive into Learning: Community Building for Early Learning

Friday, October 18, 2024
2:00 PM – 2:45 PM PDT
Room/Location: 211
Before children begin kindergarten, they are busy learning about the world around them. The Long Beach Public Library invites participants to learn about the Dive into Learning initiative, which encourages families to read 1,000 books before their little ones enter kindergarten and provides activities and workshops to get little ones ready for school. This session will highlight the evolution of the initiative and how developing and sustaining authentic partnerships with local early child development organizations is key in a child’s kindergarten readiness. Attendees will learn how to build community collaborations that not only dovetail partner agency missions but also create an ecosystem of care and community around little ones, caregivers, and library staff. This workshop will also demonstrate how collaboration is requisite to the self-care of staff who plan the workshops and attendees interested in learning about resources.
