Kalamazoo Public Library’s commitment to being a Family Place Library. A Family

builds on the knowledge that good health, early learning, parental involvement
and supportive communities play a critical role in young children’s growth and
development. Family Place Libraries™ is a network of children’s
librarians nationwide who believe that literacy begins at birth, and that
libraries can help build healthy communities by nourishing healthy families.
The Family Place Libraries network currently includes more than 300 sites in 23
states and continues to grow. More information can be found at http://www.familyplacelibraries.org/.
