Take 5 and Read to Kids! continues with storytime at local libraries 🥳🥳We’re I excited to have our CEO, Jack Hinojosa, as the invited celebrity reader for storytime Tuesday, May 9, at 11 am at the Main Library, 251 South A Street, in downtown Oxnard.
The event is being organized by First 5 Ventura as part of their annual Take 5 and Read to Kids campaign. This event is a part of the ongoing effort to raise awareness about the importance of early literacy and bilingual learning, the joy of discovery through books, and to build champions that advocate for early childhood education.
See you there. 📚
