NMSL is once again providing the Early Literacy Tips Calendar for you to share with your patrons and staff. We received good feedback about using the calendar in 2023 and saw it in use at many libraries in person - and shared out on social media. These calendars
are based on the Every Child Ready to Read framework - and are a great way to help your caregiver patrons practice early literacy skills with the child in their life. </div>
