Our Commitment to Early Learning
Spokane County Library District is dedicated to Early Learning, demonstrating that commitment with a variety of services to families and child care providers, as well as continuing education for staff and customers.

We employ several tools to help achieve our Early Learning goals:

Preschool Book Bags
These bags contain 10 books and a folder containing suggestions for songs, fingerplays, and activities in themes such as Silly Fun, Weather, Feelings, Counting, Colors and LOTS more. New themes are continuously being created.

Toddler Book Bags
These bags contain 8 books (including board books) and a folder containing suggestions for songs, fingerplays and activities for very young children. New themes are continuously being created.

Free STARS Training
SCLD offers training for child care providers through Washington’s State Training and Registry System (STARS), a career development system for individuals who work in child care, early education, and school age care. For more information click here.
