Breeze: 9.19.2020
With school looking different this year, OC Public
Libraries’ literacy program, OC READ /
Families for Literacy (OC READ), will be launching a series of
Back-to-School events to support distance learning.
“The County understands the need for literacy and family
engagement are important in building a foundation for learning,” said
Chairwoman Michelle Steel, Second District Supervisor. “The goal of the
Back-to-School events is to help support the community and encourage a culture
of reading and learning for the entire family.”
OC READ offers literacy assistance to adults and their
families, and the Back-to-School events are aimed to promote literacy and help
create “home libraries” to support student learning.
“Distance learning has been challenging for many parents
and students,” said Vice Chairman Andrew Do, First District Supervisor. “Now
more than ever, it is important that we provide essential support services to
our communities through our local county libraries.”
The Back-to-School events will take place from 4 p.m. to
6 p.m. in the parking lot at the following library locations and dates:
Westminster Library: Tuesday, September 22
La Palma Library: Wednesday, September 23
Stanton Library: Thursday, September 24
Garden Grove Main Library: Tuesday, September 29
Garden Grove Chapman Library: Wednesday, September 30
La Habra Library: Thursday, October 1
“These Back-to-School events are part of the creative
community outreach efforts OC Public Libraries is initiating to ensure they
stay connected with their users,” said Supervisor Donald Wagner, Third
District.
The Back-to-School events will include free books and
crafts provided by OC Public Libraries staff to families while they remain
safely in their vehicles. READ
