Project Title: Read Baby Read
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Free Library will establish Read Baby Read as our flagship program for babies and toddlers, feeding directly into our Youth Services and Programs (YSP) Strategic Plan. We will also have created a roadmap for the replication\/expansion and financial sustainability of the Read Baby Read program across the Free Library system.
\nThis three\u2010year initiative (January 2020 \u2013 December 2022) will allow the Free Library to plan for \u2013 and prepare to implement \u2013 an expansion of Read Baby Read from two locations to at least four (including infant spaces, collections, and programs) across the Free Library system. We will replicate the most effective elements of the model spaces and collections in each of the nine library clusters, and replicate the programming in even more libraries within each cluster, as Read Baby Read becomes our flagship baby and toddler program.<\/p>\n
The Free Library will:
\n\u2022\tSecure a team of Early Childhood Specialists, Project Coordinator, Parent Ambassadors, Early Literacy Curriculum Development\/Training Consultant, and an advisory committee to ensure that Read Baby Read programming is offered continuously and without interruption;
\n\u2022\tUpdate and replenish books and supplies in model infant spaces, as well as our circulating infant collections;
\n\u2022\tImplement regular programming schedule, including at least 50 programs per year at each library (e.g., lapsit storytimes, sensory storytimes, Baby Dance Parties, a four\u2010week parent workshop series, and pop\u2010up programs, among others) as well as programs offered in other community locations, with the goal of reaching a total of 1,500 parents\/caregivers and children per year;
\n\u2022\tTrain new staff members and other stakeholders in Read Baby Read and the Free Library\u2019s philosophy of embedding playful learning into all of its early literacy programming;
\n\u2022\tIn Year Three, plan for (and begin to implement) the expansion of Read Baby Read to at least two new library locations;
\n\u2022\tDraft a program sustainability plan, including a fundraising plan; and
\n\u2022\tEnsure that Read Baby Read will become our flagship early literacy program for babies and toddlers.<\/p>\n
