State Grant Awarded to the PLNL
The Public Library of New London is pleased to announce that the library has been awarded $3,000 by the Connecticut State Library Board
for a new initiative to reach out to parents and guardians of children under the age of 4 to provide them with pre-literacy tools to help ensure that their children will arrive at school ready to read. Every Child Ready to Read programs will be held at multiple community locations and will be provided simultaneously in English and Spanish to ensure inclusivity. Parents will be encouraged to practice what they learned while reading, singing, and reciting rhymes to their children at home.
