Reading Mentors Return!


After a summer of rest, research, interning, and other adventures, our mentors have returned and the office is once again buzzing with their chatter, enthusiasm, and energy. The year is already off to a busy start with mentors dropping in daily to pick up books almost as fast as we’re putting them out, voracious readers that they are. We had a great turnout at the Mentor Welcome Back Shindig last Thursday, thrown to celebrate our mentors’ return and to say thank you for all the work they do to make a difference. Amid refreshments and conversations we had the chance to catch up with old faces and chat with some of the new ones who were thinking about joining our team.

Interviews for this year’s batch of new mentors are well underway and we even have a few on board already. We are so excited to have them and to have the opportunity to meet such vibrant and passionate students who are, to our delight, fellow book-lovers and lifelong readers themselves. With the forums set to start up again in the next week, this year is already promising to be another exciting one and we can’t until the program is back in full swing and we’ve filled all our vacant mentor positions.
