Another year of children and books
What a great school year it has been. Twenty five volunteers have been reading each week to preschool and school age children in the Monument area. The children in this photo are in a preschool while one of their parents is in an English class. The children are learning English in an informal manner, as the books are read to them in English.
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.
