NOTE:
The Camden Campaign for Children's Literacy's Library Outreach
Program offered
a wide variety of free reading and artistic programs for children
in the Camden community for the past four years. These programs
included storytelling by a recognized literary artist and hands
on literacy related activities including murals, storyboards, bookmarks,
& books created by the children. The Library Outreach Initiative
was a collaborative project between CCCS and the Camden Free Library.
The program had
to be discontinued due to lack of continued funding. |
