Library Early Learning Advocates (LELA) is a public library networking group comprised of early learning, early childhood, and early literacy library professionals who support each other's efforts as they inquire, evaluate, and create opportunities to raise awareness about the critical period of brain development that occurs during a child's first five years of life. This group explores and shares ways to support early childhood caregivers and families with children ages birth-five, through library programs, resources, services, and community engagement, utilizing developmentally appropriate practices that promote equity, diversity, and inclusion.
