My S1 was my broadest facet = Program* or outreach = more than 3000
I narrowed this by adding "Public Library."
S2 = (Program* or outreach) and “Public library” = more than 3000
I narrowed again by adding (Toddler or Infant).
S3 = (Program* or outreach) and “Public library” and (Toddler or Infant) = 783
The final narrowing was with "Early Literacy."
S4 = (Program* or outreach) and “Public library” and (Toddler or Infant) and “Early Literacy” = 15
Here are screen shots of my search and the list of results.
My first hit:
Reflection on Search: Most of these articles are calendars for public library programming. They definitely indicate an interest on the part of public libraries in supporting early literacy. One of the programs listed in my first hit:Early Literacy Workshops
By appointment
Do you work with children ages birth-5 years and their parents and caregivers? Please consider contacting an Early Literacy trainer to arrange an Early Literacy workshop at your location. These workshops are FREE and are ideal for parents and caregivers or for those working in early childcare settings. In our Early Literacy workshops, we discuss the importance of developing pre-reading skills in children long before they start school, the six skills that researchers have identified as being crucial for children to develop before they start learning to read in school and demonstrate age-appropriate techniques and activities that can be used by parents, caregivers and early childcare professionals to help children develop these skills.
Workshops that are available are: Early Talkers (birth to two-year-olds), Talkers (two- to three-year-olds), PreReaders (four- and five-year olds).
Workshops will be scheduled based upon the availability of our trainers and the number of requests for workshops that are received. For more information, please contact the Children's Department at 343-4646 x234.
