OUR PROGRAMS

Every book is free, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to build their own library and their love for reading.

At The Reading Room, we bring generations together through our Reading Mentorship program, where senior citizens and children share the joy of reading. Seniors serve as mentors, reading alongside children, helping them build confidence, and fostering a love of storytelling. This heartwarming exchange not only strengthens literacy skills but also creates meaningful connections and a sense of community across generations.

Our Parent-Child Literacy program empowers families to grow and learn together. Parents and children engage in interactive workshops and storytime sessions that inspire a love for reading while building essential literacy skills. With fun activities and helpful resources, this program strengthens family bonds and equips parents to support their children’s educational journeys.
