We are delighted to announce our volunteer of the month for October 2022: Cyra Pantaleon! Here’s a message from her:
“minibiblioPLUS and their philosophy of the importance of early literacy really speaks to me because as a child, my mom has always read books to me, which probably sparked my everlasting love for reading. I still remember the stories she read to me, how excited I was to hear them, and I want them to have the same pleasurable experiences as me. Every time I enter a classroom, they yell out my name with so much excitement that it makes my whole week, and it feels great knowing that they are excited to see me and to read with me. Whenever I get a new book bag, it’s as if I’m a child again, and I get excited to see the new books I get to read. minibiblioPLUS is such a great community, I always feel welcomed, and they even helped me land a job! Thank you for this amazing opportunity, it will always hold a special place in my heart!”

We are delighted to announce our volunteer of the month for September 2022: Stephanie Mansell! Here’s a message from her:
“I count myself to be lucky because, as a child, my mother brought me to our local library every week. I loved the quiet of the library, being surrounded by books, and getting to take home a stack to read at home. The library gave me access to a seemingly endless collection of stories to get lost in. I know that not every child has the same opportunity and that many don’t get the chance to visit the library in their neighbourhood at all. I therefore love the fact that minibiblioPLUS brings the library to these children. I very much enjoy volunteering in the minibiblioPLUS library—all these years later and I still love books and reading and libraries. Every child should have access to books. I like knowing that the volunteer work I do in the library adds up and contributes to childhood literacy in my community.”

We are delighted to announce our volunteer of the month for August 2022: Joan Buttersworth! Here’s a message from her:
“Finding a little time to volunteer gives a big reward. I feel so energized and happy as I write this because I have found a way to do something meaningful by making reading fun! 
’s philosophy and approach to supporting early literacy is so tangible with each visit; I love being welcomed by children and to see their attention and imaginations. Each visit is a great opportunity to spark curiosity and to bring books alive. Being patient and building our relationship takes time and it is a real delight to hear the children’s voices calling out “Book time!” when I come in. Thank you to for all the wonderful support and my sincere admiration and appreciation to all the daycare providers for taking such good care of our little ones.”
