Numerous studies have shown that by stimulating language development, it is possible to strengthen the fundamental elements of literacy and support good academic achievement.   <\/p>\n<p>This project is part of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur's literacy strategy and is carried out in close collaboration with the Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur Public Library and the health centres in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur.  Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur Public Library and the Municipality of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur have joined forces to give all children aged 6 to 24 months a book as a gift, which is presented at an educational meeting in each individual neighbourhood. All parents of children in this age group are invited to the educational meeting in their neighbourhood.
