Abstract
Summary In 1997, Kalamazoo Public Library and Bronson Methodist Hospital along with several other community organizations collaborated to create an emergent literacy program. The program provides volunteer readers at community sites, pediatricians' prescription of reading aloud for healthy child development and giving books to children at well-baby visits, providing a cloth book for every child born in Kalamazoo County, offering workshops on reading and book sharing skills for parent groups and providing book collections and volunteer readers to child care centers. This program is unique in its widespread collaboration of twenty community service organizations to provide county-wide services.
