Library Benefit Committee Northside Center for Child Development For over six decades Northside Center for Child Development has been providing life-altering services for the social, emotional, and cognitive growth of children and families, serving more than 3,000 annually. Combating the potential negative effects of poverty and racism, Northside sets special-needs and typically developing children on a path for successful lives. Founded in 1946 by Drs. Mamie and Kenneth Clark, Northside builds on the visionary mission they established: to foster the healthy development of children and families and to empower them to respond constructively to negative societal factors. The Heart of Northside The Jane Allen Emil Children's Library was founded over 40 years ago as a living memorial to this good friend, who served Northside Center's children with warmth and devotion. Jane Allen Emil was a dedicated member of the remedial reading staff and served on the Board of Directors of Northside Center for Child Development. The Library is a vital resource for children and families, offering a safe, nurturing, and educational space. Due to the generosity of private funds from foundations, corporations, and the friends and family of Jane Allen Emil, Northside has been able to expand the Library’s collection and provide creative learning activities. The staff and Board of Northside are sincerely grateful for the ongoing involvement of the Emil family.
