Family Place Library
🌳 What is a Family Place Library™?
The Forest Hill Library District is proud to be part of the nationwide network of Family Place Libraries™—a model that supports families with young children, especially from birth to age 6, with a special focus on the critical years from 0 to 3.
💡 What Makes a Family Place Library Special?
Family Place Libraries™ are built on the belief that:
- Parents and caregivers are a child's first and most important teachers
- Play is essential for early learning and healthy development
- Libraries are vital community hubs that can connect families to the resources they need
