My Nonprofit Reviews

MAKE WAY FOR BOOKS has grown so much in the last 18 years, from a small organization to one with over 30 employees. Because of this growth, they have been able to expand their program offerings to sooooo many more schools, preschools, daycares, families and educators. Parents and teachers are learning more about brain and language development and the importance of reading to children from birth. And they are learning that reading is fun!! MWFB is helping Tucson and southern Arizona to become a much better educated community!

I joined the Board of MAKE WAY FOR BOOKS after partnering with them to present familiy literacy programs at the public library. (I was a children's librarian.) Their mission and that of the library go hand in hand so beautifully. MWFB and the library want to put books into the hands of children and families and provide them with ideas for fun activities to enhance the reading experience. Reading is a vital life skill and making first experiences enjoyable leads to higher literacy levels in a community which leads to higher education levels and better economic situations. I am thrilled to be part of an organization that works to provide for such a basic need.
