The Jan Jablonski Early Literacy Training Center

Picture


​On a Mission To Help Readers Grow


To honor Jan Jablonski, the Foundation's former Co-President and founding member of the Board who passed away in July 2016, MCPL has created the Jan Jablonski Early Literacy Training Center at Noyes. The Center opened in March 2017 with the mission to create, model, and export best-practice early literacy training for librarians and library science students, early childhood educators, daycare providers, and parents.
For now, the Center is a growing collection of resources on early literacy, housed at Noyes and made available through the trained Children's Librarians there.  As the Foundation and MCPL continue to design the expanded Library, the Center will take shape as an amazing opportunity to improve early literacy throughout the DC region and beyond.
