OCDEL is pleased to offer Pennsylvania-certified early learning providers the opportunity to request a Little Library at no cost for their program and community. This opportunity is voluntary and open to all Pennsylvania-certified providers, including child care centers, family child care homes, PA Pre-K Counts, Head Start, and Early Head Start programs.
Quantities are limited, and one Little Library per physical location.
While placement of the Little Library is up to each recipient, OCDEL encourages locations that allow for public access to maximize community impact. This could include placement near your program entrance, along a sidewalk, or in another visible, welcoming space.
Programs that receive a Little Library will be responsible for maintaining and restocking books over time. To help you get started, OCDEL will provide the first nine books. In addition, the first 500 programs to submit a request will also receive a copy of a previous PA One Book selection.
To request a Little Library, please complete this form.
