Plinkit
Plinkit allows library staff members (or volunteers) to create and
maintain Web site content for their libraries quickly and easily,
without learning HTML or purchasing special equipment or software.
If you are comfortable using a mouse and a Web browser and you have
used the basic editing features of a word processing program, you
will be able to create and edit pages for your library’s Plinkit
Web site in no time at all.
Public Library - Head Start Partnerships
for Early Childhood Education and Family Literacy
There is a natural partnership between public libraries and child
care centers. Both are vitally concerned with the education and
well-being of young children and both have missions to support early
childhood education. Collaborations between public libraries, Head
Start agencies, and child care centers, support rich early childhood
learning experiences and promote family literacy.
