Library Resources
A note from Lisa Millyard, DHS:
I am gathering resources for a Foster Parent Resource Library. I would like to have informative DVD’s and reading materials available for Foster Parents. These resources will be able to be signed out and viewed or read to increase knowledge and skills. I hope to have this up and running in November. I will include a list of items in the monthly news letter ; adding new items as they come into the office. I will make evaluation forms for each item and will ask that this form is returned with the item borrowed to receive training credit. If you have anything you would like to donate to the library please feel free to do so. The following is a list of items we have available.
