Through the Library's program Bringing Books To Life, more than 100 local childcare centers are already receiving training for teachers and parents. Begin Bright will help them reach potentially 45,000 kids five and younger. In addition to establishing Little Libraries at every center, the program will include workshops for adults in kids' lives which will guide them in effectively reading to little kids.

"When you're reading to a child, stop and ask them, 'What's going to happen? Or what do you think just happened?' And that allows the child to develop a love of learning," said Shawn Bakker, NPL Foundation president.
