Welcome to Melvindale Public Library

Talking is Teaching!

The Detroit/Wayne County Talking is Teaching Community Campaign is working to support families and involve our community in understanding the importance of early connections with children to support their brain growth and feelings of safety and security.

The Melvindale Public Library is proud to partner with the Talking is Teaching Community Campaign to provide materials to help parents Talk, Read and Sing with their little ones even more! Families can visit the library to get a free book to keep and a book bag to take home. Books are available in English, Arabic, and Spanish. One book per family. 

Visit www.greatstart.org to find help, fun, and more information on Talking Is Teaching!
