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
  

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.
