While supplies lasted, preschoolers, who have a library card and attend the Preschool Literacy Event on Oct. 24 at the Encinitas County Library, received a book bag and a special T-shirt to commemorate the day. This congratulates them for their involvement in the library’s audacious goal: in 2015, 1,000 preschoolers will read 1,00 books before starting kindergarten. This year, 1,039 preschool library readers are working to achieve this goal.
Assistance League of Rancho San Dieguito’s volunteers support the overall goal, that all young library readers will read at grade level by third grade. This year, Assistance League is “Making a Difference” with a donation of $2,000 to buy new preschool books. The books were introduced to young readers and their parents on Oct. 24
