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 Great Start to find help, fun, and more information.
1000 Books Before Kindergarten
This is an early literacy program for children ages 0 to school-age. Come in and pick up your welcome packet and a swag bag when you sign up at the front desk.
All you have to do is read to your child/ren. For every 100 books that you read together, we will put your child’s name on our “Wall of Fame” and they will get a brag tag to keep.
Read any book. Repeated books count! When you reach the 1,000-book milestone, you get a book, a certificate, and your brag tag, all to keep with you at home.
