Description:
The North Liberty Community Library wants to evaluate the effectiveness of our Stork Storytime initiative and our Stork Storytime READS Librarian Toolkit.
Questions:
Have expecting families developed a regular reading routine before baby arrives? Are new families continuing their daily reading routine afterward? Do parents feel more confident as their child's first teacher? Does the toolkit help librarians deliver literacy at their libraries?
Why:
This is part of our library's strategic plan, kindergarten readiness statistics indicate kids are starting school not ready to learn, we want to grow the initiative (both in variety of programs and number of libraries participating).
