Remember hearing stories as a kid? And how, suddenly, you could fly…or travel to a distant island…or watch woodland animals help one another?
Alicia Chavarin remembers. And she also recalls the true magic of reading: it prepared her for a successful future.
As Adult Literacy Coordinator at both the Robert Louis Stevenson and Benjamin Franklin branches of the Los Angeles Public Library, Alicia now shares that magic with families, through the library’s Families for Literacy program.
Alicia talked about the ways the program inspires families to read together, and suggested both a book that she especially loved, as a child, and several that are favorites with her current “clients”, ages five and under, and their families.
