Support early learners

“My son made one of his first ‘outside the house’ trips to Bowness Library when he was three weeks old!”

—Sarah, Library patron and donor

The Library’s free and accessible resources support families as they help their children learn and grow. Healthy development in early childhood sets the course for a child’s future, leads to kindergarten readiness, and prepares children for lifelong learning success.

Here is what your generosity can provide:

• $21 can buy one children’s picture book. Donor support enables the Library to keep up with the growing demand for high-quality, age-appropriate books.
• $75 can deliver one online, outdoor or in-person Family Storytime program. Reading aloud together fosters a lifelong love of reading!
• $100 delivers one class in a Baby Rhyme Time program. This popular program introduces babies to songs, rhymes and stories and fosters connection for caregivers.
• $500 can fund the delivery of books to a Library Month at your Dayhome/Daycare location through the Story Truck. Donors makes the Library more accessible for those who cannot easily visit in-person.
