Welcome to CLEL!

Welcome to the new CLEL website! Our goal is to maintain an online community for librarians committed to providing early-literacy programs and services in their libraries. Whether you are just getting started with literacy-based programming or you've been doing it for years, this site can be a starting point for links to resources, samples of storytimes and handouts, and best practices.
