    New York State Library Early Literacy Training—State Library Research and Best Practices Arizona: Holly Henley, Library Development Director, Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records, A Division of the Secretary of State, Carnegie Center, 1101 West Washington, Phoenix, AZ 85007, Phone: 602-926-3366, Fax: 602-256-7995, E-mail: [email protected] Insights: Library staff members who plan to offer early literacy workshops for parents and caregivers find it very helpful to see a demonstration of Every Child Ready to Read and Brain Time before doing them on their own. They also find it helpful to have someone who can act as a mentor while they are getting started. On an ongoing basis, a vehicle for communication and sharing experiences between those who are doing early literacy outreach is very helpful. It is essential to provide ongoing training opportunities for library staff in order to train new staff members in libraries and to keep continuing staff members informed of the latest best practices.

Statewide planning by state library agencies helps prioritize resources and support based on common and pressing needs across public libraries. Digital literacy is a critical area of need for support that has been growing in importance for public libraries in serving their communities.
