My Own Book

Our co-founders visited the New York City Public Library and toured "The ABC of It: Why Children's Books Matter" exhibit there. We took pictures to share some of the cool parts of the exhibit. Here is the website for the exhibit: http://www.nypl.org/events/exhibitions/abc-it. It is around until March 2014 and we would highly recommend you should stop by and see it if you find yourself in New York City.

Reading Gains Lag Improvements in Math Schools that work with low-income students are consistently finding that problems with math are more easily addressed than problems with reading.

Go somewhere magical on your long weekend... pick up a book and read to a child you know.

On May 1st, 2013, My Own Book partnered with the Solano Community College Women's Basketballl team to share the love of reading at the Fairfield Civic Center Public Library.
