Her mid-sized public library in central Indiana offers a variety of programs for both children and adults, starting as young as babies and toddlers. For the youngest patrons, they offer story time and hands-on play areas. The programs for school-aged children include crafts, games, and movies, emphasizing the fun of reading. Teens can enjoy book clubs, community service opportunities, and study support. The adult patrons can also partake in book clubs, attend speaking events such as author visits, learn a new language, and more. A big part of Moore&#39;s role as Executive Director is to find new ways to bring patrons in and engage them with reading and literacy. </p> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-01-82/Library-Programs-that-Connect-the-Local-Community-With-Reading-and-Literacy.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../Library-Programs-that-Connect-the-Local-Community-With-Reading-and-Literacy.mp4</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Nonfiction, Subscriber, video</div>
