Library Programs
In conjunction with the Child Foundation, a neurophysiology research clinic, the library developed Readers and Leaders. This program trains teenage volunteers to work with pre-readers to enhance their literacy skills. Using multi-sensory input, teens encourage reading skills through play and interaction with such things as modeling clay, rice, toy cars and finger paint.
Art on a Cart was inspired by functional art movements and community-wide initiatives such as the Chicago CowParade. Local sponsors donated funds so that local artists could decorate library book carts.

Famous quotes containing the words library and/or programs:
“With sighs more lunar than bronchial,
Howbeit eluding fallopian diagnosis,
She simpers into the tribal library and reads
That Keats died of tuberculosis . . .”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“[The Republicans] offer ... a detailed agenda for national renewal.... [On] reducing illegitimacy ... the state will use ... funds for programs to reduce out-of-wedlock pregnancies, to promote adoption, to establish and operate children’s group homes, to establish and operate residential group homes for unwed mothers, or for any purpose the state deems appropriate. None of the taxpayer funds may be used for abortion services or abortion counseling.”
—Newt Gingrich (b. 1943)
