Libraries Count: Engaging Families with Math Programs in Public Libraries

Abstract

In this article, we discuss the importance of engaging
all families in early math in the public library through the lens of what we have learned through our collaborative, co-development project Libraries Count. Readers will leave with strategies for reaching out to families to get them involved in math programs as well as specific methods to infuse more math into programs in libraries in ways that resonate with diverse families and their young children
