Bill Reid, Director of External Affairs for Verizon presented a check for $8,000 to Success By 6 to place Parent Lending Libraries in at least five childcare centers in Polk County. Each library consists of a four sided bookstand on wheels, at least 200 books and instructions and tips for parents and center staff. Children borrow these books with their parents for one-on-one reading together. Verizon understands that language skills are the primary predictor of academic success or failure. Thank you Verizon!
