Index of Agencies in the Connections Directory
SPECIAL NOTE: In Baltimore County, there are many community
organizations with trained staff to answer questions and to help find the information needed
to make informed decisions. The Connections: Children, Youth and Family Resources
Directory is a listing of those organizations that work with children, youth and their families.
Connections has been designed to help you make a direct connection with the organization
that can provide the most appropriate services for you. We hope you will find the
directory a useful self-help guide to the many services available in our County.
Connections includes entries for government agencies at the federal,
state, local county and city levels as well as non-profit organizations. Businesses are
included only if they offer services which are difficult for the consumer to locate.
Businesses that are readily found in the yellow pages of phone directories or those who
advertise their services widely are not included. Selection of organizations for inclusion
in the Directory is reviewed by the
Baltimore County Local Management Board.
All organizations listed in the Directory
are contacted annually by the
Baltimore County Public Library to review their data and make necessary changes. All
updates and changes are made on a continual revision basis to the master version of
Connections located on the World Wide Web at: http://www.bcpl.info/ in the
"Your Community" section under Family Resources. It is the responsibility of the organization to report to
the Information Services Department (410-887-6124) of the Baltimore County Public Library
any changes or inaccuracies that may occur in the interim.
While every effort is made to see that Connections is as accurate and
current as possible, neither the Baltimore County Local Management Board nor the Baltimore
County Public Library are responsible for the
reliability of the information provided to it by the organizations.
The listing of an organization in the Connections does not constitute an
endorsement. It is up to the individual(s) needing such services to interview the
prospective provider(s) prior to availing themselves of those services.
For a much more comprehensive listing of organizations, see the
Baltimore County Public Library's Community Information
Database, available both on the Web and at
all
Baltimore County Public libraries.
