Oxford
Learning Centre/Mississauga East Continues to Support Library Reading
Program
Mississauga,
ON –
The Mississauga Library System is pleased to announce that its popular
annual Grade 4 Read to Succeed Program will continue to be sponsored by
Oxford Learning Centre/Mississauga East. This annual program invites every
Grade 4 student in the City to visit their local branch library, get a
library card and explore its many services and programs
The
Grade 4 Read to Succeed Program was developed to address educators
concerns that by Grade 4 children tend to give up on reading for
televisions viewing and video games. This program was created through the
support of librarians and school boards across the Province to address
these growing concerns and reinvest efforts with students to re-energize
their support of reading as a lifelong habit.
The
program at Mississauga required funding in 2005 and the Oxford Learning
Centre/Mississauga East stepped up to ensure that the program continues to
be offered throughout this school year.
This partnership is a good fit. The Mississauga Library System and
Oxford Learning Centre/Mississauga East are committed to lifelong learning
and the promotion of reading and literacy skills. Oxford’s financial
support of this nationally acclaimed Library program ensures that local
students can continue to benefit from its presentation.
The
Mississauga Library System serves its 700,000 residents through a network
of 17 branches. Last year the Library welcomed 4.2 million visitors making
it the #1 leisure destination within the City.
The
Oxford Learning Centre/Mississauga East is located at 925 Rathburn Road E,
Mississauga. Contact is Yogesh Desai at 905-306-7380.
