Each March, we select a book for everyone in the community to read. With generous funding from the Wyckoff Family Foundation, we provide copies of complementary age-appropriate books to school children, and we plan dynamic programming related to the books.
We provide a new book to every child from birth to age 4 at each well-child visit to Finger Lakes Medical Associates and Finger Lakes Community Health.
Twice a month, volunteers meet with WIC families, providing a free book for each child and talking with parents about how important -- and fun -- it is to read to your child every day.
Our colorful bookshelves are stocked with gently used books donated by community members.
We sponsor Summer Slide book fairs to help children retain their reading skills, and we pay for each child to select 1 or 2 books from fairs throughout the school year.
