Read A Story volunteers visit preschools, pre-K and kindergarten classes.  We also participate in community events, such as the El Sobrante Stroll, to give free books to young children and also give information about reading to parents and other caretakers.  Please scroll down and look at some of our photos.  Thank you for visiting our site.
