The Lewiston and Auburn public libraries are sponsoring BookReach, a community collaboration of volunteer readers who deliver weekly storytimes to children in licensed family childcare homes and centers.
Their mission is to raise a community of readers by enriching the lives of young children through the pleasure of reading, according to a news release from the Lewiston library.
BookReach, which began in the fall of 1997 with a grant from L.L.Bean, is now funded by the Lewiston and Auburn libraries. BookReach volunteers donate one hour per week to bring storytimes to children who may not have an opportunity for them on a regular basis.
For more information on volunteering for the program, contact the BookReach coordinator at 207-513-3004 ext. 3515 or bookreach@lewistonmaine.gov.
