Kindergarten Readiness
According to the Maryland 2023-2024 Kindergarten Readiness Assessment Report, only 40% of children in Anne Arundel County demonstrate readiness for kindergarten. Kindergarten readiness, early literacy and community engagement have long been priorities at AACPL. Thanks to additional funding from Anne Arundel County, the library will be able to expand its kindergarten readiness program.
With two new vehicles and six additional staff, the library can bring its well-known school readiness programs to underserved communities.
