Before children can learn to read, they must develop a range of early literacy skills. Parent and caregivers are children's first teachers. This workshop presents the five early literacy practices along with interactive activities that parents/caregivers and children can enjoy together!

Parents/primary caregivers are children's first and best teachers!  There are five simple practices that parents and caregivers can use to help children get ready to read: talking, singing, reading, writing, and playing.  These practices are familiar, can easily be incorporated into everyday routines, and do not requires expensive materials!

About the branch

The Lawrence Branch opened in 1967 on North Franklin Road in a storefront previously occupied by the Lawrence Post Office. It was the first branch to open within an incorporated town in Marion County. Rapid population growth demonstrated the need for a larger, permanent facility to serve the northeast side. A 3.44 acre site was purchased from MSD Lawrence Township for a new 13,500-square-foot library that opened in 1983.

Renovated in 2020, the Lawrence Branch re-opened to changes that maximized access to the Library’s services and collections, created engaging and functional spaces for those of all ages, and increased access to new technology. The project also provided group study and tutoring areas, improved lighting, more outlets for charging stations, and updates to the entrance, public restrooms and interior finishes.
