DAVENPORT, IOWA (April 12, 2023) — Davenport Public Library is excited to announce that we are embarking on a mission to bring vibrant new activities to the children's areas at all three locations and we need your help!
We are currently fundraising to add interactive nature-themed kiosks, wall panels, and more to all three Davenport Public Library locations. These will allow kids to engage in different activities that support early literacy: Talking, singing, reading, writing, and playing. There will be letters and words, gears, magnetic pieces, song lyrics, varying textures, and so many other pieces that are perfect for hands-on play. And of course, lots of cozy nooks where you can read books together!
This project wouldn’t be possible without the support of our community. To learn more and to donate, please visit: https://www.davenportlibrary.com/about-us/enhanced-childrens-areas.
