Congratulations Dive into Reading Graduates!
On April 19, the Long Beach Public Library held the first graduation celebration for children in the Dive into Reading program. Dozens of children and their families packed the community room of Mark Twain Neighborhood Library for ocean themed stories, games, and crafts. All graduates wore purple graduation caps and were awarded a certificate of completion from the Library.
This program supports parents and guardians as they read 1,000 or more books with their children before kindergarten.
The Library Foundation is proud to fund this program thanks to the following donors: The Earl B. and Loraine H. Miller Foundation, International Paper Foundation, Vic and Patty McCarty, Margaret Kott, the Edith H. Holland Literacy Fund, Long Beach Rotary’s Reading By 9, John Arcos and Janet Leonards, The Johnson Family, and George and Janet Watts. Your support is helping to raise life-long readers!
