Community Engagement

It’s important to keep providing support for families of school-age children, even though kids in this age group are starting to become more independent. You can still provide quality parenting/family information, and you can also create opportunities for families to spend time together through fun library programs and activities.

School support is also another key part of supporting families and caregivers for this age group. Library staff can take advantage of opportunities to pass along tips and suggestions to families and caregivers who come to the library seeking resources and assistance with their child’s school studies. Feel free to ask families what additional resources might be needed to assist with school involvement.
