Our Programs

Picture
We operate a large number of programs to promote a love of reading in the community of Rosarito.  Each has a focused objective. During the pandemic, some activities were temporarily put on hold and many were modified to conform to safety protocols.  Even as we return to more in-person activities, we continue to conduct some programs virtually, as the new platform has allowed us to expand our reach beyond what we had accomplished during our earlier days.  
We are Readers (Somos Lectores)
  School and Community Programs

This popular and effective series of program has expanded greatly in the 7 years since it began,  comprised of engaging reading activities that build excitement about reading.  Among the programs are:
  •  School programs, including Copa Panchito, a city-wide game-style competition featuring the books of Francisco Jiménez, and Somos Lectores en Espiral, in which trained adults read aloud to classes in a way that spurs active discussion.
  • Visits to community centers and orphanages.​
  • Somos Lectores a Distancia, engaging virtual reading activities  on line that can be accessed anytime, anywhere.​​
  • Book Clubs for readers of all ages.

Dare to Read    (Atrevete a Leer) 
This training program began with an invitation to high school and University students interested in volunteering in our reading programs in the schools. Later it was opened to anyone interested in promoting reading, such as librarians and teachers.
Dare to Read workshops are run by our Program
Coordinator and invited specialists on various
topics
.
Its purpose is to involve as many local people as possible in reading promotion, to create a self-sustaining community of readers.
Reading to Go (Lecturas para llevar)
This lending program has the goal of putting books in the hands of as many community members as possible.  It is accomplished in many ways, including
  • Bookmobile stops​
  • Pop-up Libraries​
  • Lending to small groups​​
  • Backpacks of family reading materials and activities
