| Abstract: | The article focuses on the efforts of the children's department at the North Platte Public Library in Nebraska to enhance outreach and advocacy for children's programming following the COVID-19 pandemic. After a significant reduction in staff, the librarian initiated partnerships with local organizations and began extensive outreach to preschool and after-school programs, resulting in over two thousand participants in 2023-2024. This data was instrumental in advocating for additional staffing and funding, leading to the hiring of a part-time library associate to expand programming. The success of these initiatives highlights the importance of community collaboration and support in fostering educational opportunities for children and families. [Extracted from the article] |
