Children’s Outreach

Marsie Montgomery provides outreach library services for children in Baker, Bradford and Union counties. She presents story time programs at preschool centers throughout the tri-county area, reaching over 550 students each month.
Marsie also provides outreach support to over 40 teachers each month. The Cooperative has 52 Storyboxes that can be checked out by the teachers that coordinate with their weekly teaching theme. The Storyboxes contain books, activities, games and puzzles.

Another of Marsie’s duties is to create a bi-weekly newsletter for the teachers filled with information about books, literacy, authors and illustrators. She then combines the two newsletters to create the Storytime Newsletter for this web page.

The early years are critical to developing a lifelong love of reading. Marsie’s goal is for the children to experience the joy of reading and develop a love for books.
