Tasty, Tempting Tomes Available at Swansboro Readers Café
Where can you find giggles, gaffs and garlic all mixed together? Just one visit to The Swansboro's Readers' Café will provide you with enough hooplah, humor, and maybe hotdogs until you can¹t wait to return for more!
The Swansboro's Readers' Café consists of groups of excited young readers led by an equally enthused adult that meet once a week during lunch time to share reading a really good book. The children cannot wait until Café time rolls around and oftentimes the adult leader has to pull rank and end a session to cries of "Just one more page, please!"
Readers Café is a New RJCL Program at Swansboro
Last year at Swansboro Elementary a few RJCL volunteers tested a new program called Readers Cafe'.
It is designed to be like "Oprah's Book Club!" but reading with a small group of students during their lunch period. We would welcome all volunteers. No teaching experience is necessary, just a sense of fun.

RJCL Donates Books to Students at Swansboro
Thanks to the leadership of the mentor group, and a generous grant from the Jewish Community Federation of Richmond, the RJCL purchased a book for every child at Swansboro as part of the "Go Read" program. Each child at Swansboro received "Superfudge" by Judy Blume as part of a school-wide book distribution. During a three-week period in March, all students read "Superfudge" and completed age-appropriate activities related to the book's content.
