Kelli parmley, lexington public library: "you could see the relief on her mother's face that there was a place that she could bring her child to get help with something that she couldn't help her daughter with.

And, and that's why we're here.

And that's what we're doing it we want to be that relief.

And that help.

And that barrier, that broken barrier for any family that needs it."

To continue to offer the program at no cost to the families... the learning lab is looking for more private funding and also hopes to expand to another location downtown.
