PA Forward®
Our storytime programs support the Basic Literacy element of PA Forward®, the Pennsylvania Library Association's 21st Century Literacies Initiative. The initiative states that with the right support, libraries are ideally positioned to become the community centers of information, technology, and learning that will fuel educational and economic opportunity for all of our citizens.
Basic literacy is defined as developing foundational competency including reading, writing, math, job application assistance, and overall life-skill development. It also includes STEM (Science Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) knowledge building on basic skills and concepts.
Libraries have moved far beyond just being book repositories. They’re agile institutions serving real-life needs. Libraries are the key to powering progress and elevating the quality of life in Pennsylvania by fueling the types of knowledge essential to success: Basic Literacy, Information Literacy, Civic and Social Literacy, Health Literacy, and Financial Literacy.
