Louisville Public Library Strategic Plan <br />Goal #2: Promote Literacy <br />2014 Work Plan <br />We provide resources and programs for all ages to encourage the love of reading <br />and to support literacy in the digital age. <br />Objectives <br />1. Literacy for Children <br />Our collections, programs, and services help ensure that children enter school ready to <br />read, and empower parents and caregivers to build and support literacy skills in their <br />children. <br />1.1 Work Plan Responses <br />A. Summer Reading Program <br />• After a successful introduction in 2013, the 2014 <br />Program again features an early literacy component. <br />B. School -age support <br />• Read To Rover and Reading Buddies provide fun, <br />supportive environments to practice reading for <br />reluctant readers and those reading below grade level. <br />• A Parent /Child reading group encourages reading for <br />elementary school students. <br />C. Story Times and Other Programming for Young Children <br />• All programs consistently include early literacy <br />practices drawn from the Public Library Association's <br />Every Child Ready to Read II. <br />D. Early Literacy Kits <br />• Kit contents rotate and feature reading, writing, <br />singing, playing, and talking activities for in- library use <br />by caregivers and children. <br />E. Displays <br />• Display space is increased to encourage theme - related <br />browsing. <br />About 10% of registrants were for <br />the early literacy option. <br />Currently offering once a month. <br />Will recruit another dog in 2015. <br />Attempted with 4 age groups; <br />unsuccessful. Discontinued. <br />Completed. <br />Keeping kits together was <br />challenging. Tweaked offerings, <br />bought more toys; very popular. <br />Plan in place for 2015. <br />3 <br />
