Friday Five

Friday Five

Watch Now

This week was our first #FeednRead of the new school year! Even though students have been in school for a month, we kicked off all the reading FUN by celebrating The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds, Dot Day, and the concept of MAKE YOUR MARK!


Students and volunteers alike shared a fantastic meal (two words: Fish. Tacos.) prepared by Daylight Mind Coffee. YUMMY!


Stories were shared, books were chosen, fun was had, and we made our marks thanks to lots and lots of sidewalk chalk.


Students of all ages were able to build their stacks since we had so many BRAND NEW BOOKS to choose from! I don't know what I would do without Scholastic Book Clubs (HOORAY $1 deals!).


As always, it takes a village and we could not do it without our great volunteers: teachers, principals, teens, families, community members, and more. We appreciate our local businesses, and to Ulu Wini for letting us be a part of your community.

Check out a few of the pictures of stories and smiles!







It takes a LOT of books to keep this program going!


Scroll through to see the rest!

Until next month, HAPPY READING!

If you follow me on social media (@MrsYuskoLibrary), you have seen ALL my posts over the past 16+ months about our #FeednRead literacy outreach events. We took a leap and started small in June 2017. It has grown into a monthly event, attended by 50-60 keiki, adults, and volunteers enjoying evenings of fun, friendship, books, and smiles! Today, our efforts made FRONT PAGE news of the local paper (read the entire article here. Make sure to scroll through all the photos they posted online...love all those smiling kiddos). Being a part of this is such a blessing for me, and for everyone involved. Thanks to everyone for your continued support! If you build it, they will come...
