The Early Literacy Community Council is guided by its' mission of working to develop a strong early literacy foundation for families in the Mon Valley and to foster a literary community where everyone can succeed. The Early Literacy Community Council is comprised of parents, community members, librarians, and other professionals who want to make an impact on early literacy is the Mon Valley.

Together, we've determined five priorities: 

• Increasing access to Books

• Providing Parent Support around early literacy 

• Developing Creative Partnerships and Collaborations

• Increasing the number of Family Friendly Reading and Play spaces

• Creating an Information Campaign
