Library Stories

Ep. 55 "It's Important To Build Literacy" | Library Stories by The Library Stories ProjectNovember 29, 2016

Not every mom designs a curriculum for her preschool child, but NYPL helped Trenicia see possibilities—especially when she added more than one branch library into the equation. The combination of multiple library locations, diverse children's programs, and lots of books helped Trenicia boost her daughter's early literacy and ability to engage with different people.

Library Stories is a video series from The New York Public Library that shows what the Library means to our users, staff, donors, and communities through moving personal interviews.
