About My Library

This is the Denver Public Library Read Aloud book collection. Volunteers take bookpacks with books from our collection to Head Start, Early Childhood Education centers and other agency programs, and leave the books in the classroom between visits. Currently, volunteers read to approximately 1,300 children each week. Each child who participates will hear about 80 books in a 14-week session and will receive a gift book at the end of the session.

About Me

The Denver Public Library Read Aloud Program goals are:

To provide children with the opportunity to experience the love of books and the joy of reading

To promote the use of The Denver Public Library among preschoolers, their families and their teachers

To develop pre-reading skills among Denver's preschoolers

Volunteers read to educationally at-risk, low-income children attending Head Start, Early Childhood Education centers and other agency programs.
