Love Bridgeport Prospers!

Summer Voyagers

We were introduced today to the great programs run by the Summerfield United Methodist Church after dropping off books for a youth event. Check out some of their programs.

Looks like the staff at Cesar Batalla School in Bridgeport are looking forward to the start of school next week. Bianca Rivers's 3rd grade class is ready to rock! Contact us if you know of teachers in need of classroom reading books for kids to take

We love providing books to The City of Bridgeport's Lighthouse Program, which provides many summer and after school programs for students.

Darien Book Aid is hosting a free book day for local teachers. Check out their website at https://darienbookaid.org/

Loved this article about reading in NYC. Some great old photos.
