We were thrilled at the number of community members who joined us to kick off our Share Stories Change Lives Early Literacy Campaign. At the event, we were excited to share more about the different ways that everyone can get involved in the community-wide campaign, as well to announce our latest new project: The Neighborhood School Readiness Project. Read more about it here.
During the event, we recognized several community members with our special Book Bells created by local nonprofit organization Ben’s Bells Project. Mayor Rothschild, Isabella and Santino who both supported our Blue Book House Project, as well as several outstanding educators and local business supporters including Bookmans, Comcast, and Arizona Association of Community Managers were recognized during the event.
Throughout the event, we asked people to join the conversation about early literacy and tell us why they Make Way for Books. We received some great answers:
You can join the conversation as well. Like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and Instagram and tell us why you #makewayforbooks.
