Project Read Families Program by Brian Castagne

Paul Underwood,
Deputy City Librarian

Luis Herrera, City Librarian

On Thursday, December 8th, over 120 learners, tutors, library staff, and family members attended Project Read’s annual Holiday Party and Potluck. The highlight of the evening, as it is every year, was the amazing array of homemade dishes brought to share.

Paul Underwood, Deputy City Librarian, was on hand to welcome everyone on behalf of the San Francisco Public Library, and the spirit of the holidays was apparent as the crowd mingled, with a bit of assistance from Brian’s clever icebreaker.

Then, the assembled were treated to a selection of gifts (donated by local businesses and tutors) distributed by the traditional free raffle. Music was provided by Adrian West (www.adrianwest.com) whose unique six-string violin created a rich musical background for the evening.

Finally, as the party neared its end, all those attending received a special door prize to celebrate the season—a smartly designed Project Read T-shirt, which proved popular with tutors, learners and staff.
