>From Greta’s article, “The Ready to Read project at your local public
library is building literacy skills in early learners and summer readers,
even as I write these words. Oregon libraries use Ready to Read funds in
their daily work to support visiting Head Start classrooms with storytimes,
to offer teen or foster parent literacy classes, to implement summer food
site reading programs, and more—all to ensure that as many Oregon kids as
possible have the opportunity to build literacy skills in their
communities.”

Greta Bergquist has worked in public libraries, schools, and afterschool
programs from the East Coast to the Pacific Northwest. She holds a Master
of Arts in Teaching from Johns Hopkins University and an MLIS from the
University of Washington. Bergquist greatly enjoys working with public
library staff in her role as the Youth Services Consultant at the State
Library of Oregon.

Thank you,
