Libraries as innovators in early childhood education
Duration: 1 hour Status: Now available on demand
From a “Rainbow Jungle” to a reimagined Victorian Gothic space, today’s libraries are transforming into vibrant hubs of early learning. In this recorded webinar, leaders from the Calgary Public Library (Canada) and Bay County Library System (Michigan) share how they’ve redefined the role of the library in their communities—creating dynamic, multimodal spaces that support families long before children enter school.
Both systems have integrated LENA Start into their early learning initiatives, using LENA’s “talk pedometer” technology and family engagement model to promote interactive talk and boost children’s language development.
In this session, you’ll learn:
How a metro and rural library system are reimagining early learning
The evolving role of libraries as community connectors
Why and how LENA Start became a part of their innovation strategy
