For More Information

Children’s librarians can access a trove of information by joining professional library and reading organizations and associations, such as the International Reading Association (www.reading.org) and the American Library Association (www.ala.org). These organizations have local affiliates and divisions for specialty areas like children’s services. They also offer professional conferences and webinars, listserves. Scholarships are sometimes available for librarians and students to attend conferences through these organizations. Some employers subsidize the cost of joining professional organizations and attending conferences.

Early literacy information and programming ideas may be found in the books listed in the Bibliography and on the following websites:
