Reading is a family affairImperial Valley Press: 4.03.11 by Roman Flores
Two-year-old Safera Ayala of Imperial was all smiles as she scanned the table to pick out the free book she was going to take home.
“Dora!” she exclaimed as her mother, Julissa Ayala, showed her a colorful Dora the Explorer book.
This was one of the many sights Saturday during the LEARN Family Literacy Picnic at Eager Park here.
The Literacy Picnic was an event set to raise literacy awareness while acknowledging the many volunteer tutors, book learners and their families of the LEARN adult literacy program, said event coordinator Monica Reyes.
“We’re trying to send out the message that the library is the lifelong place to learn year-round,” said Imperial County Librarian Connie Barrington. “I think people automatically think ‘books,’ but libraries are so much more nowadays.”
