Abstract

The partnerships of the El Dorado County Library system (EDC Libraries) with the First 5 El Dorado Children and Families Commission (First 5 El Dorado) and other public and private organizations have created a unique web of collaborations to enhance the pre-literacy competency and confidence of young children, newborn to five years old, and their families and caregivers in their communities. In recent years, the EDC Libraries have exponentially increased the number of library-based educational services for these young people and their families. In 2010, 43,000 young children, their parents, and caregivers participated successfully in the pre-literacy-based programs with EDC Libraries and their collaborative partners.
