Lamplighters Library Shelf at the Lewiston Public Library provides parents and educators with education-oriented books on topics such as parenting styles, motivating children to learn and how to work with teachers and principals.

Cradle to Kindergarten Program helps parents get their child ahead of the curve before entering kindergarten. We are partners with the Friends of Lewiston Library's 'Books for Babies Program'.

Books For Babies Program acquaints parents of newborns with the important role they play in their childs development through reading, and supplies them with a kit to get them started.

Basket O' Books Take Home Books For Toddlers provides parents with the opportunity to bring their toddler into the library to pick a board book to take home to read then return it to the library and select another book. The purpose of the program is to get toddlers interested in books, reading and learning and gets them familiar with the library.

Future Lamplighters Programs

Support Groups for Parents: Education is different now than a generation ago. Parents may feel they need support in the educational process. If there is interest, Lamplighters will organize a support group of parents from the Lewiston area.

Support for Learning: The record shows community support for learning and academic achievement is essential for sustainable education improvement. Part of Lamplighters' mission is to build as much of that support as possible by encouraging the business community, churches, law enforcement and others in the community to join us in honoring learning. It really does take a whole village to raise a child. Better education is everybody's business. The benefits of well educated children affects all of the community.
