Page Ahead Honored
Page Ahead has been named Program of the Month for March by Reading Is Fundamental (RIF)! Founded in 1966, RIF is the oldest and largest children’s literacy organization in the country, so this is quite an honor. We couldn’t have done it without our wonderful members, supporters, and volunteers, all of whom share in this recognition. Thank you, and thank you RIF!

Why New Books?
“I want to extend my appreciation to Page Ahead for the beautiful books we received at Greenwood Elementary. I have never seen a collection of donated books that are as beautiful as these. Typically, donated or grant-funded books are paperback castoffs, often outdated, although the gift is always well intended. The books from Page Ahead are in beautiful, new condition, and each is timely and of interest to students. Our kids are going to be thrilled with their new books!”
Sincerely,
Ruthanne Rankin, Librarian

"The book is magnificent, awesome, happy, and interesting. It helps me learn, and it helps me be smart."
