Lots of books = Happy children




Once again many children were able to choose books to take home for their own personal library. Each child was encouraged to pick two books.

So many beautiful, gently used or new books had been donated from the community for this annual event at Meadow Homes Park, Concord, California.
Six volunteers from the community helped make this event so successful. A good time was had by all .... the children received the fun of choosing their own books, and the volunteers had the joy of sharing their love of books with the children.

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.
