Stories of Early Literacy

Libraries are full of stories. Some are inspiring; some are tragic. Some tell of epic adventures, while others tell of everyday life. As librarians, we love sharing stories with you.

But we don't often get to tell our own story. That's what IMPACT stories are for. This is a permanent web space to tell and share stories of the library and demonstrate our value to the community. These stories are reflective of our strategic lens, centered around our commitment to equity, literacy, accountability, engagement and community.

We hope you enjoy them.
