Early Learning
Early learning has a lasting impact on a child all the way through adulthood. Research shows that young children who are introduced to early learning activities and books have greater success in school, are more likely to graduate and become lifelong readers. At Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, we like to say that you are your child’s first teacher.
