Last week, as part of our FINE series on family engagement in children's learning through libraries, we brought to you Harvard Family Research Project (HFRP) and
the Public Library Association's (PLA) call to action,
Public Libraries: A Vital Space for Family Engagement. The document calls for libraries to join together with schools and community organizations to establish a system of family engagement that
extends throughout a child's life, supports children and families, and prepares children for success.
But did you ever wonder what libraries around the country are doing to engage families? Or are you interested in knowing what libraries consider their greatest family
engagement needs?
This week we answer these questions by sharing results of HFRP and PLA's national survey of family engagement in libraries.

opportunities for families of young children to engage in their children's learning. However, libraries are still dedicated to finding additional ways to broaden family engagement beyond early literacy.

creative ways libraries open spaces and platforms for all families and for children of all ages.
