Report

We are developing a roadmap from these baseline findings for serving these families and will publish the roadmap in a white paper with the Association for Library Service to Children (ASLC) in Summer 2019. The publication will provide clear examples and guidelines around how to develop and implement outreach-based programming for families from underserved communities.
