The Every Child Ready to Read® @ your library® program was developed by PLA and the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) to provide public libraries with vital tools to help prepare parents for their critical role as their child’s first teacher. Since the program’s training and materials were made available in 2004, hundreds of libraries have held programs for parents and caregivers to help them help children get ready to read. To learn more about the program, visit the Every Child Ready to Read® @ your library® Web site.

In order to make new and current users of the Every Child Ready to Read® @ your library program aware of the best practices and innovative ideas that have been developed by program users, PLA/ALSC have created a wiki to both share information and to solicit ideas and feedback. If you have used the Every Child Ready to Read® @ your library® materials, ideas or training, please share your successes, challenges or materials on the wiki. If you are new to the program, check out the wiki for ideas you can use today!
