📚 Happy World Book Day!

Today, we’re celebrating the power of storytelling and the incredible impact books can have on young minds. Our Program Manager, Hailey Hershkowitz, shares:

“As a former English teacher, I am really passionate about the impact a good book can make in young people's lives. I feel super fortunate to work with organizations that promote literacy and learning, like Loving Library, who just completed a Brain Trust with us. In addition to running many of the programs here at SVP, I’m also a young adult author with my third book for teens and tweens on the way. One of my favorite things about both of these fields is the opportunity to impact the lives of young people and continue learning more about my community.”
