Purpose

A second purpose is to develop and maintain a library of children's literature and educational resources to assist children, educators, and the general public in their appreciation of literature and their understanding of what happens intellectually, emotionally and physically when we read.

A third purpose is to develop and implement a Guest Speaker Series to affirm and advance the work of authors and illustrators of children's literature. Writers, artists and educators whose works are used in the classroom setting are invited to participate in the series.

In the spirit of community service, Living Books Literacy Center™ opens its classrooms, performance space and lobby (when the Center’s schedule permits), to any group whose purposes the staff determines are harmonious with the Center's purposes.
