Family Place Libraries

Did you know, a Family Place Library is a center for early childhood information, parent education, emergent literacy, socialization, and family support. Expanding the traditional role of children's services, Family Place builds on the knowledge that good health, early learning, parent involvement, and supportive communities play a critical role in young children's growth and development. The Family Place Libraries initiative provides a development framework and comprehensive model for family centered library service.
Family Place is a project of Libraries for the Future and Middle Country Public Library. Since 1996, this partnership has brought Family Place to more than 225 sites in 24 states.
