📚🍁Wow!!! Honors Students at the University of Detroit Mercy were busy this summer painting these 3 libraries! We are so excited for them to find their new homes at our community partners this fall!🍁📚
📚This past weekend, Rx for Reading Detroit was able to provide books for the Douglass Branch Library end-of-summer event! Kids were invited to grab and book and read in the “reading circle”. Students, Chanel Smith, Erin Letourneau, and Gazale Chami participated as reading buddies and helped the families find books to take home!📚
📚This summer, we loved working with our friends at @greatstartcollabwayne for their grocery store initiative to encourage families to “Talk,Read,Sing”! We were able to provide books for all ages at these events. 📚
Rx for Reading Detroit was able to provide around 500 books for the Detroit Reconnect’s ““Growing Knowledge, Growing Wealth through Education” held at the Mama Akua Community House!
Rx for Reading Detroit was able to attend Great Start Collaborative Wayne’s ‘Talking is Teaching’ parking lot party at Honey Bee Market La Colmena to further encourage families to engage in reading and learning for all ages!!!🐝📚⭐️
Sandra Johnston, a second-year graduate student at University of Detroit Mercy, painted this adorable free community library as part of a MBA service learning course in Personal Development, Ethics and Social Responsibility. This is the 8th library Rx for Reading Detroit has provided to New St. Paul Head Start centers in northwest Detroit! The preschoolers will love learning to "Read, Learn, Dream" with this cosmic-inspired library. Thank you, Sandra!
