Tri-County Teams Up with<br />
Plainville Public Library<br />
Tri-County Regional Vocational<br />
Technical High School<br />
and the Plainville Public Library<br />
are pleased to announce an educational<br />
partnership that will<br />
give students the opportunity<br />
to create a new interactive play<br />
structure area in the Children’s<br />
Library. The project will be educationally-focused<br />
on curriculum<br />
for children ages 0-6.<br />
This project is brought to you<br />
with federal funds provided by the<br />
Institute of Museum and Library<br />
Services and administered by the<br />
Massachusetts Board of Library<br />
Commissioners (MBLC). The<br />
MBLC developed this direct grant<br />
program using federal funding to<br />
help libraries meet local community<br />
needs including financial and<br />
health literacy programs, STEM<br />
and STEAM projects, programs<br />
that help New Americans learn<br />
English and become citizens, programs<br />
that serve teen needs and<br />
projects that preserve valuable historical<br />
documents.<br />
“We are very pleased to be<br />
given the opportunity to work<br />
with the Plainville Public Library<br />
on behalf of our students,” said<br />
Jean George, Vocational Director<br />
for Tri-County Regional Vocational<br />
Technical High School in<br />
Franklin. “This has been a great<br />
opportunity for our students to<br />
New England<br />
collaborate together to see how<br />
their specific vocations are integrated<br />
to complete a project.<br />
Real-world application of skills<br />
is a valuable part of the careerfocused<br />
technical learning experience.”<br />
The play structure will be used<br />
by young children to promote social,<br />
intellectual, emotional and<br />
physical development. Under<br />
the supervision of licensed vocational<br />
teachers, the high school<br />
students will assist in implementing<br />
the project. Students in Carpentry<br />
will work on designing<br />
and building the structure, while<br />
students in Graphic Communications<br />
will create signs to identify<br />
various theme-centered play,<br />
and Early Education students<br />
will develop lesson plans to share<br />
with families.<br />
“Once we received the grant,<br />
I was very motivated in finding<br />
ways for the community to be<br />
involved in our work here at the<br />
Library,” said Laura Brillant-<br />
Giangrande, Children’s Librarian,<br />
Plainville Public Library.<br />
“Since Plainville is in the Tri-<br />
County district, I thought what<br />
a great opportunity it is for high<br />
school students to help us to accomplish<br />
our goals. It’s really a<br />
great learning opportunity for all<br />
ages.”<br />
