The collection can also be accessed from any of the Librarys public
computers in the branches.
The website is easily navigable for children, and parents will
find that reading is fluent. There are also options to hear
the stories in French and Spanish, and each story comes
with puzzles and games to strengthen reading
comprehension.
The Library of Virginia purchased the
TumbleBookLibrary for use by Virginias public
libraries. These electronic books are a literacy resource that keeps
children interested and involved in reading, said Librarian of Virginia Sandra
G. Treadway. They are great for children learning to read. The interactive
website keeps children interested in reading, contributes to success in
school, and helps to instill a love of reading.
For more information on the TumbleBookLibrary collection, please
call (757) 664-READ(7323).

2012: Khadijah Collins and Kayla Lawe
................................................................................
Khadijah Collins and Kayla Lawe began volunteering at the Van Wyck Branch Library in September 2011 through
a partnership between Norfolk Public Schools Special Education Services Department and the Norfolk Public Library.
The girls are dependable and dedicated volunteers, who have donated 140 hours of combined volunteer time
cleaning toys in the KidZone, filing DVDs and assisting with Babygarten programs.
Khadijah and Kayla are both students at Maury High School. Kaylas favorite subject is Culinary Arts and
Khadijahs favorite subject is Math.
Suzanne Ingersoll, a job coach for Maury High School, states; The library has been a fantastic place for the girls
to get their first work experience. Working at Van Wyck Branch has not only given the students solid job skills, but
also confidence in their abilities.
When Kayla is not in school she likes to babysit, play on her Xbox, help her mom cook, and watch movies from
the Library; her recent favorite: The Pink Panther.
In her off time, Khadijah likes to listen to her favorite music by Usher and
Ne-Yo, and hang out with her friends. She also likes to watch movies from the library.
.........................................................................................................
Thank YOU, Diamond, Khadijah and Kayla for all you do for NPL!
NPL appreciates your dedication to the Library Volunteer Program.
