Turning the Page sees George Takei speak at Library of Congress Family Day!

by Turning the Page | May 20, 2024 | Blog post, News & Events

On May 11, 2024 Turning the Page attended the Library of Congress Family Day celebrating AAPI Heritage Month. TTP staff and a family in the TTP community attended the event and had a great time exploring the Library’s activities for Family Day and the featured talk by...

“The books [which] we received lately connect with virtual learning. When we do read-a-louds [online] we have our own books.”

– TTP Parent

“You guys are such an inspiration to parents and families, you’re always extending yourselves and I love the way you offer opportunities for our children to get books. I love the books I just received for my grandchildren.”

– TTP Parent

“It’s such a challenge to get books to families right now but it’s so important – grateful you’re doing this!”

– Sumner Elementary Staff Member

“I’m reaching out to let you know how excited my preschoolers were to come home to a surprise package and every colorful book they were excited to have me read! We sat up all night reading and enjoying the books!”

– TTP Parent

“I’ve heard from [my child’s] teacher, who is great, but it means a lot that you called to ask how I’m doing in all of this.”

– TTP Parent

“I really admire what Turning the Page is doing. The topic of your presentation today [Worthy Websites on April 16th, 2020] is such a good one and so important for learning online at home.”

– Dr. Eve Boyle, Howard University

“I appreciate your commitment to making sure I have everything I need to help my son grow academically, as I’m sure the other parents are. I always enjoy our chats…You and TTP have always been a healthy distraction from the monotony of my days.”

– TTP Parent

“TTP has helped with providing books because we went through our stash at home. You’ve also helped by providing activities at home. For example, we participated in Author Visits and went under the sea and saw the sharks! Field trips from home are an awesome idea! Thank you TTP!”
