Javier Madrigal (Class of 2009) shares a story with some kids at the Pasco Library

We conduct these annual projects during Winter and Spring breaks. They use stories, crafts, games, songs, and take-home activities to encourage kids to keep on reading even when school's not in session. Designed and led by AmeriCorps members, these enrichment activities always rock!

You may also send us an email if you'd like to know how you can volunteer, support the project, or have any questions!

In this annual project, one finalist is picked from each of four local libraries to have their poster displayed for everyone to see! All other artwork is donated to cheer the hearts of senior citizens when they are delivered to local assisted-living and retirement facilities. The GRAND PRIZE winner receives a BRAND NEW BIKE (courtesy of the Chinook Bicycle Club and Scott's Cycle & Sports) and helmet (courtesy of Safe Kids Coalition)! Three runners-up receive a gift certificates for a bundle of books!

A special thanks goes out to our 2011 major financial sponsors:

Scott's Cycle & Sports, Chinook Cycle Club, & Walmart.
