Parent Workshop at LMRC

We facilitated an online Early Literacy Workshop with parents of LaSalle Multicultural Resource Center – LMRC. Here is what they had to say:

“On behalf of LMRC and especially the early childhood development program, I would like to express gratitude to the minibiblioPLUS team for all the work you do, LMRC and our community of families continue to benefit from your support; you are truly making an impact in our community. I received feedback on your presentation yesterday and the facilitators and social worker were very thankful, as well as the parents who were very engaged and felt that you have provided them new tips, reminders and refreshed their practice with their children for literacy success and general wellbeing.”

Thank you to LMRC and the parents for their participation and for encouraging the love of reading with the little ones at home!
