Register by April 6, Please invite community partners.

Early literacy is based first and foremost in relationships.  Children’s potential greatly increases when we support family engagement and children and families engage in daily activities that nurture literacy.  You'll leave this workshop with an action plan for how to strengthen family engagement in your library or organization.  

Lilly Irvin-Vitela is the Executive Director of the Wisconsin Head Start Association, WHSA.  Lilly has significant professional experience in mobilizing communities, family engagement, conflict resolution, promoting cultural competence, and strategic planning.  She’s also a terrific presenter!

This workshop is funded with a Library Services and Technology grant from the Institute for Museum and Library Services. Presented by the Indianhead Federated Library System.
