Volunteer of the Month- August 2024

Nina Peritz

πŸ‘πŸ€©Β Congratulations to our latest volunteer of the month for August, Nina Peritz! As an experienced teacher, Nina is equally aΒ  wonderful volunteer reader who brings such magic and wonder to her readings. Here is what she has to say about her experience:

I enjoy volunteering at minibiblioPLUS because I strongly believe in the value of community involvement. Books, learning and language have always played an important part in my life. Each time I leave one of my Story Time animations, I feel grateful that I have turned something I love and care about into a rewarding volunteer opportunity.Β 

Β Intergenerational relationships are essential as they offer a way to connect and enhance the lives of one another.Β I have learned that sharing myΒ passion for readingΒ with smallΒ children is a natural fit. I am not only making a difference in their ongoing learning development but at the same time meeting other educators and building relationships with people of all ages.

Β minibiblioPLUS is a great organization full of kind, dedicated individuals. Through them, I have foundΒ a fun, meaningful way to contribute and socialize.Β Β Each week, I am delighted by the enthusiasm and wonder of the children who listen to my stories, and they in turn benefit from the warmth and wisdom I offer them. Thanks to the hugs and smiles I see every week at Playskool, I have found a sense of fulfillment that comes with the joy of giving back.

Volunteer of the Month- July 2024

Jennifer Lapointe

πŸ“£πŸ€©Β We are delighted to announce our volunteer of the month for July 2024- Jennifer Lapointe, a spectacular storytime animator since 2022. Jennifer is such a playful and vibrant volunteer reader. Here is what she has to say about her experience:

“minibiblioPLUS has given so many children the gift of adventure, joy, knowledge, faraway places, understanding emotions, nature, animals, facts, fiction and imagination through storytime reading. It will instill in them the motivation to read to their children and hand it down generation after generation. What a gift!

I have also noticed that children that used to be shy and not interact with responses at storytime have now blossomed and feel so comfortable that they have a place to shine too and there are so many shining kids at once they can make a sunny warm day in the middle of winter.
