Kindergartners Go to College

July 11, 2014

Kindergartners get a Sneetches storytime at Fullerton College Library from Acquisitions Librarian Monique Delatte Starkey (left) and Library Assistant Betsy Murray. The children were among 1,800 who came to the campus’s 19th annual KinderCaminata (children stroll) this spring, during which they tour the campus with parents and teachers. “One event goal is that young participants, some from disadvantaged backgrounds, begin to feel comfortable with the higher education and library environments,” explained Starkey. The storytime helps to showcase the campus library’s read-aloud collection, which is also available for checkout to those outside the campus community.
