Testimonials
People are loving Family Read, Play & Learn Spaces in the local laundromat!
We have a laundromat around the corner of our house, and we travel six
blocks just to get to this particular one because of the space.
I love the literacy area and really appreciate the librarians’ patience and love. I think there are few places like this in our community. I grew up here and I think the literacy corner is very important for this community. We come here every other week, and now he has something to do. He asks me, “Mommy, can we go play at the laundromat?”
The kids love it. People are really impressed by it when they first come in. It already seems like the literacy corner is a permanent part of the laundromat.
