Our Vision

As a group of Seniors living along the Monument corridor of Concord we have established a reading program for young children.

It is our hope that Children:
  • will thrive and grow through language and the world of books
  • will enter school better prepared with enhanced English language development
  • will continue in school feeling encouraged and supported
  • will enjoy relationships with Seniors
It is our hope that Seniors:
  • will find joy and meaning through working with children
  • will share and impart their love of learning to the younger generation
It is our hope that Parents:
  • will discover the joy of having books in their homes

Fall 2008 Off to a Good Start

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.

Volunteers and book donations are always welcome.
