Favorite Library:: Haven't been to one yet where I didn't find something I loved!

Technologies You Enjoy:: I'm totally new to 2.0...2007 is my year to explore the technology all around me. So far, I'm getting comfortable with the blog and wiki concept!

About Me:: "The more that you read, the more things that you'll know

The Early Literacy Outreach Program at the Osterhout Free Library includes visits to daycare, preschools and local child care agencies to expose children to storytimes and for modeling to providers. I do presenations to area agencies like Parent/Child Home Program, Early Headstart, Headstart, Early Intervention, PROJECT MOM and other agencies that work with parents. I am the School Readiness Committee at our local chapter of the United Way. I've started a parenting support/social group and I do young children's programing. It's funded by a private grant and I'm still molding it so if you have any suggestions I'd appreciate it.
