Abstract

This past election season, the Early Ed for President campaign, championed by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), brought civic attention to a topic that has steadfast traction in the library world—early literacy. Unlike other educational initiatives that come and go, early literacy is a winning investment.
