When students first saw the bright, engaging titles on display, their excitement was immediate. They eagerly reached for the books, pointing to characters they recognized, running their fingers over the colorful covers, and turning pages with growing confidence. For our youngest learners, these materials provided an invitation to explore the library in a whole new way.\r\n\r\nStudents use the books in meaningful and joyful ways. Some retell stories by using the pictures, repeat familiar refrains, or \"read\" aloud in their own expressive voices. Others sit together to read side by side. Moments like these show the impact of these new rmaterials on early literacy, communication, social skills, and imaginative play; all of which work together to build a strong foundation for our future readers.\r\n\r\nYour generosity is helping to create a welcoming and accessible library space where every child can see themselves as a reader.
