- A wealth of valuable educational materials and resources relevant to the ELF initiative and accessible to public libraries;
- Professional expertise in child development, health, early education and parenting that supports and informs library-specific training and tools;
- Expanded advocacy for libraries as early learning community resources;
- Increased awareness for early learning concepts and practices, reaching a broader audience of providers and families; and
