Children's Literacy in Monument Area
The Children's Library project has five small libraries, situated in the First Five Center, and in four apartment complexes in this high populated area of Concord.
We are always hoping for donations of books from the community.
This next week 18 Story Readers will be starting their reading program to children in the Monument Community. They will be reading at eight different locations.
Many new books were purchased this summer and the teachers are excited about trying out these new books with their children.
The readers are also able to borrow special Stories-to-go bags from the Contra Costa Public Library. Each of these bags follows a simple theme, and the children love these stories.
Hundreds of books have been donated to the action team library this summer, and many will be given away this month at the Health Fair at Meadow Holmes Park.
