100's of book given away!
Once again we were invited to have a book give away booth at the local Monument Pride Celebration on May 6th. Monument Pride was well attended and many children enjoyed picking out a book or two at the booth. One young man kept coming back and I would help him pick out a book each time. His father said he loved to read and knew he would make good use of the books. For some children, it seemed like this was the first book they had of their own. Our volunteers loved seeing the delighted smiles of these children as they selected their own book. All of these books had been donated to us during the last six months. We love these opportunities to pass them along to children in our area.
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.
