Building Young Minds

What intellectual skills will our children need to help build a better world?

 

Will they need:

• to analyze problems with creativity?
• to easily retrieve and interpret information - its authenticity, source, accuracy?
• to communicate information and ideas in compelling and clear ways?
• to solve problems and gather information collaboratively?
• to be able to read?

I believe that every child is entitled to learn the intellectual skills that will help them, and the entire community, thrive, and I believe that libraries support the development of these skills.  Libraries support lifelong learning for all  - building a healthy, sustainable community!

For communities that want the best for all children - libraries are a treasured public good.

In Pickering, library service costs about $50 per person - a worthwhile investment in our future!
