After the success of the 2007 program, volunteers from Success Won’t Wait were excited to repeat the Elbert Palmer Summer Reading Program for 2008! The Elbert Palmer School services low income families and has a high proportion of non-native English speakers.

In addition, most students are from an area that is not within easy walking distance of a public library (aka “book deserts”). The books donated by Success Won’t Wait will keep them reading over the summer.
