Personal Deliveries to the Kids

Here’s how it works.

A student fills out a request form with some helpful hints for me. I make a stack of 4-5 books.

We check out (and deliver) them to the Advisor/SSR on Monday or Wednesday.

They have time to look through them and choose one (or more).

They fall in love with reading and do it again.
