Youth Services

PRIME TIME Grants

Prime Time, a unique six-week humanities-based program, is designed specifically for under-served families with children ages 6-10 years old. The program is intended to help economically and educationally vulnerable families bond around the act of reading and talking about books. It models and encourages family reading and discussion of humanities topics, while aiding parents and children in selecting books and becoming active public library users. Families take part in a meal at each week's session and also receive a full set of books to take home to start their own family library.
