Ventura County Library is pleased to announce the participation in the State Library’s new Early Learning with Families 2.0 (ELF 2.0) initiative. The Early Learning with Families-ELF-initiative supports California libraries as they enhance early learning services for familes with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers and as centers of community activity, provide opportunities for healthy development of young children. ELF libraries create engaging interactive programs for young children with their parents and caregivers that support family strengths and respond to community needs.

ELF is a statewide project of the California State Library and North Bay Cooperative Library System. This project was supported in whole or in part by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act, administered in California by the State Librarian.

The Ventura County Library is available 24/7 at www.vencolibrary.org.
