Louisville Public Library Strategic Plan <br />Goal #2: Promote Literacy <br />2015 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 />• The 2015 SRP continues an Early Literacy component. <br />B. School -age support <br />• Read To Rover expands to weekly sessions. Along with <br />the teen - mentoring Reading Buddies program, these <br />programs provide fun, supportive environments to <br />practice reading for reluctant readers and those <br />reading below grade level. <br />• A Caldecott award reading group encourages reading <br />for young readers and their families. <br />• This year we focus on additional literacy -based <br />programming for school -age children. <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. Interactive Learning and 'Play' <br />• In support of 'Every Child Ready to Read II' we provide <br />toys and space for children to play, one of the Five <br />Practices. <br />E. Displays <br />• New display furniture highlights books and other <br />matierals on chosen themes. <br />
