We were so thrilled to be named a recipient of grant funding from our friends at New Jersey Council for the Humanities so that we could bring the award winning national PRIME TIME FAMILY READING program to our community! We had such a great response from the participating families, and are so thankful to Gigi Naglak and her team at NJCH for all of their help implementing this very important series. We've heard our chances at funding in 2027 are pretty good, so keep your fingers crossed and your eyes open for the next session! 🤞📚📖🩷
