Volunteer of the Month – May

Joan Hongoh

Our volunteer of the month for May is Joan Hngoh, one of our most dedicated and passionate storytime volunteers. “It has been my pleasure to work with Minibiblioplus for the past few years as a volunteer. I read to my little friends at Cocon du Bonheur, in Côte des Neiges and more recently at La Garderie Mary Poppins in NDG. To share love and warmth with these wonderful children always brightens my day and reminds me of my days as a kindergarten teacher. Having studied Children’s Literature with Montreal’s wonderful professor Marion Blake and having done much work in “teaching reading” as part of my McGill Master’s degree, I cannot underestimate the value of reading.” Joan Hongoh

Vicki Barkoff

Our volunteer of the month for April is Vicki Barkoff, one of our most dedicated and passionate storytime volunteers. During the COVID-19 crises, Vicki has agreed to film herself doing storytime so that we can spread the love of reading to families even while they are staying at home. “The Fraser Hickson storytime program offers an opportunity to interact with very young people, and what could be more delightful? They are curious, eager and full of original ideas and opinions.” Vicki Barkoff

Adrian (Hannah) Dragan

My experience as a storytime volunteer has been very educational and I enjoy bringing joy and smiles to children while initiating them to literature. Through storytime, I help to increase the literacy rate of our youth while encouraging their creativity and not repressing their energy. I DO IT WITH LOVE!
