“Thank you again for the beautiful library and presentation. The presenter captured the parent’s attention and divulged information in a way that they related to culturally. I will add books to the collection for checking out. This program is outstanding.” – Therese Green, Los Angeles Elementary

“The children loved to take home the books and enjoyed talking about them. They also liked to pretend read them.” – Linda Paquette, Park Avenue Elementary

“Your workshop reinforced everything I had shared with the parents about the importance of reading to their children. Parents and children enjoyed all of the books and were anxious to check out additional books! They followed our instructions and took care of all of the books.” – Olivia Baucom, 99th Street School

“After beginning our lending library program, I observed the children going to the library center more and sharing books with each other – talking, laughing, looking at pictures and often asking me questions about the pictures.” – Rose Nakamura, Montara Elementary

“My students and their families have benefited tremendously from Ready, Set, Read! From the workshop, parents learned the ‘how to’ of reading books with their children. It reinforced the value of reading. The students demonstrate that they now enjoy reading by going independently to our classroom library.” – Terry Valdez, Fourth Street

“I would recommend this program to anyone. My children have loved it. If we run late on time, it is the one thing that they won’t let me overlook doing each day.” – Judy Hambrick, Meyler Street
