Cliffs Notes
by Elisabeth Phou 03 Jun '22

03 Jun '22

Good morning, I’m wondering if any libraries have completely removed their Cliffs Notes collection. If you have, do your patrons miss them? I believe the whole collection is available for free on cliffsnotes.com. Thanks! Elisabeth Phou, MLIS Adult/Teen Services Librarian Baldwin Public Library 300 W. Merrill St. Birmingham, MI 48009

Disruptions in this developmental process can impair a child's capacities for learning and relating to others, with lifelong implications. For society, many costly problems, ranging from the failure to complete high school to incarceration to homelessness, could be dramatically reduced if attention were paid to improving children's environments of relationships and experiences early in life.
