Richard Burges Library - El Paso Public Libraries

Over the last year, we have seen a significant increase in our circulation of board books and children's books- this information informs us that the Family Place is providing an increase of early literacy in the homes of the families we serve in our community. The sounds of “I love coming to the library!” echo throughout our hallways as children are delighted to attend our Family Place play area. It is a nurturing environment where children look forward to expressing their imagination and are able to socialize with other children their age.
