Despite a drizzly morning, this past Saturday we welcomed 615 kids, 355 volunteers, 81 parents, and 19 teachers & staff to our Fantasy, Folklore, & Fairytales reading clubs!

Please join us for our June 9th "People & Places Around the World" reading clubs!

Our summer reading clubs are smaller, so be sure to sign up early. Please also join our June 9th Facebook event so your friends will see that you're attending and you can invite them to join you!

Magnolia Elementary is holding their Parent Conference this Saturday morning and they can use our help!

While their parents are participating in seminars and classes, you would help by interacting with the kids through outdoor activities, arts and crafts, reading to the kids, etc. - basically, all the fun stuff!

Prime time for helping this Saturday will be 8:30am - 11:30am, though they can use help from 8am - Noon. Breakfast and lunch are provided, too!

Click this link for directions to Magnolia Elementary, and email us at info@readingtokids.org if you can help this Saturday!

Join us for an urban exploration of the painted stairways of Silver Lake, a route that was highlighted recently in Los Angeles Magazine - http://www.lamag.com/mag-features/silver-lake-art-stairs/.

We will gather at 8:30 am on Sunday, June 3 at Sunset Triangle Plaza on Sunset between Edgecliff and Maltman. The hike will be led by Mark May.

The full route is 6.7 miles but there are several places en route where hikers can easily return to the starting place. We will allow plenty of time for photos on the way. We should be done by 12 noon. Parking is on Sunset (free on Sundays) and adjoining streets. You can RSVP on our Facebook event or simply show up that Sunday morning!

Thank you!
