<p class="MsoNormal">The Michigan Dept. of Ed has begun a task force to develop “Family Engagement Framework,” for ages prek-20, and I’m heading to my first meeting today. I’ve got the
<u>Ideabook: Libraries for Families</u> and the <u>Public Libraries: A Vital Space for Family Engagement</u> publications, but am curious if any of you are working on this in your states?<o:p></o:p></p>
