our mission
We believe in the power of reading.Reading has had a profound impact on all of our lives. Some of our earliest and most cherished memories from childhood are centered around our favorite books. Beyond just reminiscing on old stories, we all have been affected academically by reading from a young age. Studies have shown the importance of reading and being read to on a young child's academic success. By reading to babies, parents can play a critical role in helping create the young readers that will become the leaders of our tomorrow.We aim to help Saratoga's babies by providing new parents with "book bags" which include two books, library card information, and other reading-related goodies.
