Welcome to Play in the Library
How do you provide babies and young children with access to early learning, literacy, and library services? The Rancho Cucamonga Libraries have spent the past several years working on the answers and solutions.
Over the past few years, the libraries have received federally funded grants administered by the California State Library to research the learning needs of the youngest members of our community. It was through this research, including needs assessments, surveys, focus groups, and training, that the answer was discovered … play.
Play stimulates an infant’s brain to develop connections, promotes intellectual capacity, and develops the mind and body with skills for early literacy. Play is how babies and young children learn and is their source for information about the world.
The library can make a difference in children’s lives by offering opportunities for children to play and learn – building skills for learning and literacy through life. The Rancho Cucamonga Libraries are proud to welcome play and learning in the library.
