Dr. Hector P. Garcia Memorial Library: Recipient of Family Place Libraries Project Grant

The library is excited to announce that they were selected as one of the lucky recipients of the Family Place Libraries Project Grant.

“TSLAC initiated this project in 2015 to help public libraries address early learning with a goal of ensuring that all children enter school ready and able to learn. The purpose is to create a welcoming, family-centered environment that empowers caregivers of young children as they become their child’s first teachers. This project will provide funding for the training and equipment necessary for each library to:

• Host workshops for children ages 0-3 and their caregivers.
• Develop an interactive space for this age group to play and learn in the library.
• Forge strong partnerships with organizations serving young children and their families.”
