Story Reader Training

Three new readers were trained for the Pre-school Story Readers of the Monument Community Partnership. The training, at the Concord Public library was directed by Lynne Palme, a CC County Librarian the training at the Concord Public Library.

Many of our regular readers have had the summer off, and are eager to get started again for the fall semester. We will have a "kick-off" near the end of September.

Recently we were able to purchase new books and they are being processed now, and will be shared by the various Story Readers, and will be placed in the apartment libraries.

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.
