    Abstract
    Family Development Services, Inc. (FDS) is the grantee for the federally funded Head Start program — a comprehensive early childhood development program for children who live in poverty — in Marion County, Indiana. This paper addresses poverty in the United States and Marion County, Indiana; the relationship between literacy and poverty; and the Head Start program. It assesses the need for age-appropriate and culture-appropriate on-site lending libraries in Head Start service centers and proposes that such libraries will have positive impact on the cognitive and non-cognitive skills of pre-school students. This paper also addresses the costs associated with the creation of such libraries, the validity for securing funds, and possible sources for grant funding for their establishment.
