An infusion of Bookapalooza materials will provide users of Pinetop-Lakeside Public Library in Lakeside, Arizona with new opportunities. The Library, which also serves a significant Native American population from the nearby Fort Apache Reservation, held over 220 programs for children and teens last year. Some materials will benefit participants in the Library’s Paws for Reading program, which allows readers to read to non-judgmental therapy dogs; others will be highlighted in a new “1,000 Books Before Kindergarten” program.

Creating a better future for all children through libraries is ALSC’s core purpose.
ALSC envisions a future where:
  • In every library, children come first.
  • All libraries acknowledge the importance of children’s service with adequate materials and resources.
  • All libraries recognize ALSC as a leader in promoting high quality service to children.
  • Libraries recognize and support the value of all staff serving children.
  • Resources, collections, services, and staff reflect the communities they serve.
  • The library’s physical space reflects the developmental needs of children.
  • Children and their families are being served by a variety of non-traditional programs and activities in off-site locations.
In keeping with this envisioned future, the Bookapalooza Program will offer select libraries a collection of materials that will help transform their collection and provide the opportunity for these materials to be used in their community in creative and innovative ways.
