Foster parents, now you can
broaden your mind and your skills without ever leaving the house!
The Family Resource Connection of the NH State Library is a statewide
lending library and clearinghouse of information concerning children and
families. It is funded in part by The New Hampshire Department of Health
and Human Services and the New Hampshire Department of Education.
The Family Resource Connection has information available free of
charge to New Hampshire residents on all aspects of raising, caring for
and educating children. Topics include parenting concerns, child
development, child care, special needs, education, disabilities, health
issues, and other subjects of interest to parents and caretakers.
The Family Resource Connection is also a free lending library of books
and videos; a clearinghouse of free materials such as brochures,
magazine articles and pamphlets, on a wide variety of topics; and a
referral source to state and national programs and services. In
addition, through the Family Resource Connection you can obtain research
and reference assistance from reference librarians. The librarians will
search the Internet and specialized electronic databases to help you
find the information you want.
If you decide that you might want to leave home after all, The Family
Resource Connection maintains a statewide calendar of trainings of
interest to parents.
The Division for Children Youth and Families has contracted with The
Family Resource Connection to develop a collection of materials
specifically related to foster care. Visit their web site at http://www.state.nh.us/nhsl/frc
Call the toll free number or email your request to frc@finch.nhsl.lib.nh.us.
They will mail the materials directly to your home, complete with a
postage paid envelope for the return of any items on loan.
