BET YOU DIDN'T KNOW THE REAL "SECRET" BEHIND OUR PROGRAMS

• Our programs are back in more and more schools as teachers invite us in.
• Our community programs are thriving.
• The pandemic made us stronger.
• Parents are more involved, a key success factor as they influence their children
• We are seeing  kids show excitement about reading, the best evidence of our impact

How did all of this happen? It’s for one reason: the talent and creativity of our trained reading specialists.

"WHAT HAPPENS IN OUR READING ROOMS LOOKS LIKE MAGIC"

• Girls and boys reading for pleasure.
• Families reading together.
• Children encouraging others to make their first visit to the library.

HOW IS IT POSSIBLE?

• Our love of reading is contagious.  We read, we play, we chat, and joyfully explore and share the books that move us the most. We show them reading is more fun than they ever could have imagined.
• From our actions, they see  our love of reading for pure enjoyment, which extends our learning and improves our lives
  

Our reading specialists are the heart and soul of our success. BUT THEIR WORK AND EXPERTISE IS NOT FREE. Each receives a monthly stipend for devoting themselves full time to our mission to make Rosarito a community of readers.
THEIR STIPENDS, for Marce our Program Coordinator and Jael our Bookmobile librarian, ARE NOW THE BIGGEST ITEMS IN OUR BUDGET.
And they are by far our most effective expenditures. They make our success possible.
