Family Literacy & Enrichment Program (FLEP)

The Stonington Free Library Outreach Program has been in operation since 1995. Each month a storyteller visits 14 sites reaching over 500 preschool children in daycare centers, nursery schools, special needs classes and Headstart to tell stories, read books, sing songs and do fingerplays, flannelboard storytelling, puppetry and creative drama. She also delivers to each center a crate of 80 children's books which is rotated once each month and a set of Parenting books. The Child Centers in turn check out the books to the children and their parents.

FLEP's mission is:

• to introduce pre-school children and their parents to the joys and values of literature and reading.
• to provide books for the children to take home and share the experience with parent(s) & caregivers.
• to foster family literacy and togetherness in the home.
• to encourage families to read together.
• to prepare children for Kindergarten.
