Please join us for a day of mural-painting and book processing.

We ask that volunteers bring their own snacks and water. Please wear a mask and clothes that you feel comfortable painting in. Be prepared to stay until 2 p.m. though we often finish earlier.

How It Makes A Difference

The best predictor of reading achievement for children living in poverty is the quality of their school library. No matter where they live, all children deserve access to books and stories that will help them excel in the classroom. Help us re-open and improve the libraries this summer at these schools: Sierra Vista Elementary, Laurel Elementary, and Carver Elementary.
