The door to our Chinguacousy branch near the parking lot is OUT OF SERVICE. Please use the door on the opposite side, near the beach volleyball court and skate park, to enter the Library.

Welcome, brain builders!

What is early literacy?
It is everything children know about reading and writing before they can actually read and write.

Examples of early literacy in action: 

  • Scribbles on a page before a child learns to print.
  • Playing with shapes — this is a pre-skill for identifying differences between letters of the alphabet.
  • Babbling before a baby can speak.
  • Reading together teaches children how a book works and that pictures and text have meaning.

What else can I do to build early literacy skills with my child/children?
