Program Kits
The purpose of the kits is to promote family literacy
skill through family storytimes. Each kit focuses on a theme, and includes
stories, activities, and equipment. In addition to the storytime items
in each kit, there is a program sheet. Consumable items that need to
be supplied by each user group are listed. Resource titles are listed
with each kit and books can be borrowed at or through member libraries.
Kit materials should be considered a resource, not a prescription. Each
librarian should use whatever kit materials are appropriate for their
group and should feel free to combine kit components with other materials
of their own choosing. The resource booklists include titles of other
activity books filled with appropriate activities for this age group.
Feel free to “experiment”!
