The Public Kinship campaign accelerates today, Giving Tuesday, with the soft launch of the Public Kinship Reading Program campaign. Today’s Giving Tuesday campaign promotes a Culture of Literacy by getting books and other reading materials to children who reside in affordable housing developments. Your gift will support a program that encourages parents and guardians to read with children in their homes and in community centers across the country. Intergenerational reading promotes greater connection and bonding among family members, communities, and neighborhoods. The result? Increased Public Kinship and an improved Culture of Literacy. https://lnkd.in/eHfY-Dgk

Books are powerful tools for fostering empathy, understanding, and resilience in children, especially during #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek. Thanks for sharing these valuable resources, BookTrust. I'll be sure to explore your booklists for meaningful conversations with the young readers in my life. https://lnkd.in/drQVTc_3
It's #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, and research shows that shared reading can have a really positive impact on children's wellbeing. Families Worker Luke has seen this in action at WILD Young Parents Project, a fantastic organisation supporting young families in Cornwall. We loved visiting WILD to see how they were sharing our books and resources with parents, carers and children who are part of their community. Here, Luke shares what a difference shared reading can make to families... #MHAW #ChildrensBooks #SharedReading #ReadingTogether #Families #Wellbeing

Mom | Director of Customer Success, Willow | Connecting Women and NextGen investors with trusted financial advisors
To the advisors in my network: How do you get your clients' children involved in the conversation ?
Today is National Teach Children to Save Day! Not sure how to engage your client’s families? Start young! Encourage your clients to bring their children to the office so they get to know you. Make them part of the conversation - understand what matters to them, ask what they worry about when it comes to money. Don’t let them see you as “their parent’s advisor” - have them see you as the “family’s advisor.”

#EngagedLibraries evolve to meet community needs. 💡 The Brooklyn Public Library - Sunset Park branch is one of its most popular in terms of attendance but was in desperate need of repair. With longstanding hopes of an expansion and the prospect of an expensive renovation, library and city officials decided to build a new library with a unique feature—seven floors of low-income housing above the library. The design not only saved the city money by combining two projects into one, but it also offered more space to meet user demand and brought needed housing and library services directly to those who needed it most. 📲 We want to know how your library has adjusted plans to solve community challenges. Share your story on social media and include #EngagedLibraries in your post. You could be featured in an upcoming issue of Abstracts, on our community engagement hub, in an upcoming blog or video, or across our social media channels. ⤵️ Click below to read Fast Company’s article on the Sunset Park project. --- #OCLC Brooklyn Public Library #PublicLibrary #PublicLibraries #Library #Libraries #Librarian #Librarians #LibraryLife #LibrarianLife #LibraryLove
