The Taylor C. Kirkpatrick Prize for book collecting is a program that recognizes and encourages young book collectors. Established in 2021 by Denver bibliophile and philanthropist Taylor Kirkpatrick, and now offered in partnership with the University of Denver Libraries, this program is open to young book collectors aged 30 and under who reside in Colorado.

Young book collectors are encouraged to submit their thoughtful, creative collections for consideration. Collections will be judged on their thoroughness, the approach to their subject, and the seriousness with which the collector has cataloged and presented their materials. See the link below for more information!

The Baby S.T.E.P.S. (Supporting Teachers Educators Parents & ServiceProviders) Lab at the University of Denver is conducting a research study to investigate the effectiveness of ongoing WeRead and Nosotros Leemos community groups (in English and Spanish). We are recruiting caregivers over the age of 18-years-old who are taking care of children between the ages of 0-18 months to attend the WeRead program. The WeRead program is brought to families through a partnership between the University of Denver’s Graduate School of Professional Psychology and University of Denver Libraries. Our goal is to promote child literacy, language development, and mental health through interactive read-alouds, immersive play, and psychoeducation groups. WeRead will take place for approximately 45minutes on February 28th, March 7th, March 14th, and March 21st from 10:30am-11:30am at Anderson Academic Commons at the University of Denver Library. Individuals must be fluent in English and living in the state of Colorado to participate in this program. Participants will receive compensation in the form of free children’s books and other literacy/play items in “Wee Reader” kits for participating in this study.

The University of Denver’s Graduate School of Professional Psychology Baby S.T.E.P.S (Supporting Teachers Educators Parents & Service Providers) Lab is conducting a research study called Play2gether, which explores psychoeducational-based groups for middle childhood child-caregiver dyads. If you live in Colorado, speak English fluently, are over the age of 18 years old, and have a child between the ages of 6 and 12, you may qualify for a research study exploring the questions, concerns, and key topics of interest of caregivers and their children in middle childhood (ages 6-12). Eligible participants will be asked to complete a 5-10-minute questionnaire and participate in an approximately 90-minute focus group via Zoom with your child. The date and time of the focus group will be determined after all participants are enrolled in the study. Every participant receives a $30 gift card to Amazon for completing the study.
