Make MORE Noyes!
|
Foundation Meets Fundraising Goal!This is the future Noyes Children's Library - MORE space, MORE early literacy programming, MORE outreach, and MORE accessibility for families with physical challenges. |
When the Make MORE Noyes project is completed, Noyes will feature a library for young children on the original main level, a flexible program space on the new lower level, and staff and training space on the upper level. All floors will be accessible through an external elevator and will welcome patrons of all abilities with universal design features. The three-story expansion honors the building's original footprint, and enables Noyes to continue to serve the public as a library, as it has since 1893.
Most importantly, the expanded Noyes Children's Library will house the Jan Jablonski Early Literacy Training Center to create, model and export best-practice early literacy training. At a time when books, literacy and language are more important than ever, Noyes will serve a critical need throughout the Washington, DC region and beyond.
Make MORE Noyes is being funded by a unique partnership between the Noyes Children's Library Foundation and Montgomery County, MD. The Foundation has committed to raising $1.6 million, with Montgomery County funding the balance of the project.
