This book covers a broad range of programs - not just programs for libraries. But the concerns over curriculum, gaps based on economic status and race, and things like that are background issues I'm very glad to be aware of (well no, I'm terribly sad to be aware of them because that means they *exist*). My background in early childhood education is limited so this is helping me feel more prepared in that realm and to realize how these issues affect and can inform my own program here at the library.
