“Your Lending Library program brings new materials and equipment right to our very doorstep…at no charge!  Without the Lending Library program, our staff would not be able to “refresh” their materials and provide the children with new and exciting materials.”

~Dianne Russom, Program Director
College of the Desert, McCarthy Family Child Development & Training Center

“The library is providing an invaluable service for child care providers like myself.  The children get so excited when they know I’m bringing them new things to experience.  Having the ability to expand my curriculum with what the Library provides is extremely helpful to me.”

~Marshall & Kimberly Holman, Family Child Care Providers

“The Resource Library has helped us in maintaining and rotating different materials for our classrooms and assisting us overall with the planning and development of each child in our care.  The staff looks forward to the Van visits because it helps them provide many varying opportunities and different activities for children on a daily basis.”

~Elvia Clavesilla, Center Director
Riverside Community College District, The Early Childhood Education Center-NORCO

“We find it useful that the Lending Library comes to our desert area bringing resources.  Our staff of nearly 50 can check out bins of materials to use with the children in their classroom.  The Lending Library has exposed us to new and exciting materials and we hope that it will continue.”

~Alana Paulson, Program Specialist
Bermuda Dunes Learning Center

“To have access to a wealth of books, equipment, and training materials has helped our program immensely.  The Lending Library allows us to offer new and interesting activities and materials to our children in order to stimulate and supplement their learning.”

~May Eslava, Administrator
Family Services Association, Child Development Services

“Visiting the van and borrowing often reminds teachers of activities long forgotten, or provides a spark of creativity; I see direct evidence that borrowing in this way supports more effective curriculum delivery and ingenuity.”
