Welcome to the Great Start Family Resource Libraries
The Great Start Regional Child Care Resource Center-4C of the Upper Peninsula has provided "resource libraries" within six main libraries located in the counties of Delta, Dickinson, Gogebic, Houghton, Marquette and Menominee. The resources consist of books, educational games, puppets, puzzles, CDs and other hands-on materials for infants, toddlers and preschoolers. Parental resources are also available. Each Resource Center will have the same inventory. Inter-library loans are available. There is a link to each of these libraries:
- Spies Public Library
- Dickinson County Library
- Delta County - Gladstone School / Public Library
- Gogebic County - Ironwood Carnegie Library
- Houghton County - Portage Lake District Public Library
- Marquette County - Peter White Public Library
In 2011, we were able to add smaller collections to 8 smaller libraries in our counties. These collections include the most popular items, in the same categories, from the original resource libraries. This includes the Folkmanis puppets. Like the larger resource centers, the smaller libraries will also have the same inventory and are available on inter-library loan.
- Ishpeming Carnegie Library
- Calumet Public School Library
- Manistique School & Public Library
- Menominee County Library
- Munising School Public Library
- Wakefield Public Library
- West Iron District Library
- Ontonagon Township Library
We hope to keep adding to each of these resource libraries in the years to come.
