MidPointe Library System wants to join you in helping your child develop a love of reading and share ways to build an early foundation for lifelong learning.

Sign up to receive an early literacy kit for your little one, sent directly to your home.

Enrollment in Starting Pointe is absolutely free and available for parents/guardians and their babies ages six months and younger and living in MidPointe Library System’s service area.

This project was supported in part by federal Institute of Museum and Library Services funds, granted through the State Library of Ohio.
