Open Books, Binding Families is a literacy project targeting children and families under the care of the Westmoreland County Children’s Bureau. The goal of the project is to introduce children to books and provide the parent(s) with ideas on fostering literacy in their family with little effort. Encouraging parents to embrace literacy within their families can prove challenging, but a library located in the playroom of the Children’s Bureau provides an opportunity for the children and parents to explore the wonderful world of literature.
The children are given a book bag and the books are free to take home in limited number. Books on literacy ideas for parents are available. Open Books, Binding Families is a project of the Westmoreland County Children's Bureau Advisory Board, which oversees the project and seeks funding from the community to perpetuate the project.
