The KCC Early Childhood Education Program is hosting a Lending Library of young children's books. The literacy tote bags will:

• empower parents and caregivers to teach their children
• make it easier for busy parents to become involved in their child's learning
• help parents understand the importance of reading and interacting with their children

Each literacy tote bag includes:

• 3 young children's books recommended by the High Scope Foundation and local literacy teachers.
• Learning experiences using commonly found home items that parents, teachers and caregivers will be able to use to extend stories
• Simple strategies to promote literacy in young children

The literacy tote bags are available to any resident of Calhoun County in the state of Michigan. To check out a tote contact the Emory Morris Learning Resource Center on the campus of Kellogg Community College at 269-965-4122.
