What’s New

Abril Rivera

Announcing our newest volunteer of the month for March, Abril! Abril has gone above and beyond her weekly Storytime sessions, making time to participate in Special Events and always bringing a bright energy to her readings. Here is what she has to say about her experience:

“Volunteering at Minibinlioplus means feeding off the imagination of young children. 

Not only am I learning how to bond with them, but I am also bringing out my inner child. Minibiblioplus’ initiatives are a great start for incentivizing children to read from a very young age and develop their language skills. I have also been surprised at the kind of patience and empathy I have for them, especially when I pay attention to their little thoughts and expressions as we go through our readings.

The kids look forward to seeing me because every reading session is a fresh new adventure!”

Claudia Pateras

 Congratulations to our latest volunteer of the month for February, Claudia! Claudia’s smiles and fun stortyime animations bring the children much happiness and joy with every reading. Here is what she has to say about her experience:

“I became a volunteer at minibiblioPLUS last summer when looking for opportunities to read to children. I was delighted to discover this wonderful organization that allowed me to share my passion of reading, just as I had done with my nephews when they were little. It was one of my favorite activities with them: to delve into new worlds and bring them alive with different voices and sound effects, and to witness the joy, laughter and wonder that it brought them. Those were special moments that every child should experience.

My volunteer sessions at a local daycare have been so much fun. It’s very gratifying and touching to see how happy and excited the children are for story time. And the staff members are amazing and very welcoming. It’s been a wonderful experience that I hope others will explore. I want to thank everyone at minibiblioPLUS for their kindness and support, and to underline the amazing job that they’re doing to support literacy in children, which is extremely important for the development in all facets of their lives, and which will help open doors both personally and professionally.”

“My favourite part of volunteering with minibiblioPLUS is that I get to share my love of reading with the kids. The support from the team at the library is amazing, it makes volunteering really easy. I know the daycare is really glad to have us come in to read once a week. The children’s enthusiasm makes my day and never fails to put a smile on my face. Their interest in the stories and their participation are really heartwarming.”
