Message From Our Board President
On behalf of the Long Beach Public Library Foundation Board

With your financial assistance, we have been able to sustain and support an
literacy programs that benefit the entire City of Long Beach. Your
donations make the following programs possible:
-
Family Learning
Centers, where all children can receive assisted bilingual
homework help, access the latest technology, data and research resources,
and where adults can learn to improve their language technology and job
skills,
-
Raising A Reader,
where preschool children who are preparing for kindergarten and learning are
introduced to the joy of reading and the wonders that books hold,
-
Dictionary Day,
where all third graders attending Long Beach schools are given
their own dictionary and taught how to use it,
-
Homebound Services, where
homebound residents who can not visit a public library can receive books and
DVD's by mail or have them personally delivered by Meals on Wheels Long
Beach, our community partner,
-
Long Beach Reads One
Book, a citywide celebration of reading when everyone in Long
beach is invited to read the same book and enjoy a week-long series of
events centered around themes of the book.
Aren't these exciting programs and aren't we lucky to have
them?
The Long Beach Public Library Foundation is so very grateful for
your generosity and for your help in Promoting Literacy One Reader
at a Time.
Your fellow reader,
Les Starck
President, Long Beach Public Library Foundation
P.S.
If you have not already visited the newly constructed Mark Twain Library (1401
E. Anaheim Street, 90813), you have missed a rare gem in the City of Long Beach.
Make plans to do so soon. I think you will be suitably impressed!
