Family Literacy Services

Literacy Coach

The Literacy Coach is a 36 foot custom-built vehicle that travels throughout the county sharing engaging early literacy programs with children under 5 and their families who may not otherwise have access to the library due to geographic, economic or language barriers. Visitors to the Literacy Coach enjoy a story time, a brand new book for their home library, and the message that their library can help adults who struggle with reading and writing skills.
