Pacific Library Partnership

Pacific Library Partnership, in partnership with the Bay Area Discovery museum's Center for Childhood Creativity (CCC), will refine the Reimaging School Readiness toolkit, which was developed by the CCC and California State Library. The project team will also train 1,500 librarians across the nation in how to incorporate research backed concepts and activities into school readiness and early learning opportunities. The Pacific Library Partnership will hire a consultant to evaluate the toolkit, the train-the-trainer program, and the overall project and provide recommendations on the content and structure of the model. The project will provide librarians with the tools, methodologies, and resources they need to provide evidence-based school readiness programming to support children under eight years old and their parents or caregivers.
