SUMMARY:Touchpoints in Libraries: Understanding Child Development and Engaging Families

Lastly\, participants will learn to create a shared language among staff about engaging families and caregivers. \nMore Details\nEach module will contain a minimum of 10 participants. It is aimed at professionals who work in library settings and with young children and their families.
