Reading is FUNdamental (RIF) Program


On February 13-14, 2014, students at Goodyear and Burroughs-Mollette Elementary Schools were treated to a Valentine's story, read by the Reading Wizard, Nancy Butler, then they selected a book of their own, purchased with Friends of the Library funds. Our terrific Friends volunteers helped to show that Reading Is not only FUNdamental, but also Fun! View Goodyear Elementary and Burroughs-Mollette photos.

The Reading is Fundamental volunteers are looking forward to the students' field trip to the Library later in the Spring. They will get a tour and learn about the Summer Reading Program, in addition to a program and book selection.
  
The RIF books purchases are no longer done through federal funding, as this long lasting literacy program was cancelled in December 2011 by Congress. The Friends hope to continue the program with alternate funding. Please consider helping with this worthwhile effort to teach our children that reading is not only Fundamental, but also FUN! Please contact Betsy Stafford, RIF Chair, at 912-466-8806 with any ideas for programs or for funding.
