As part of the new Young Student Parent Grant Program, a program offering support services and resources for students with children, PTC has received more than 7,000 books. The books have been donated by First Book and were personally selected by Anne Kubesh, a student in PTC's early childhood development program. The books are being distributed to all at PTC to share with children of every age.
First Book provides access to new books that have been donated by publishers for children in need. Many are current and popular titles, and many are both educational and entertaining. To date, First Book has distributed more than 90 million books and educational resources to programs and schools serving children from low-income families throughout the U.S. and Canada. First Book aims to transform the lives of children in need and elevate the quality of education by making new, high-quality books available on an ongoing basis.
The collection of books is managed by Laureen Williams, Young Student Parent Grant Coordinator, located in PTC's "cottage" at the northwest corner of the campus. For more information, contact Laureen at 320-629-5198 or by email: WilliamsL@pinetech.edu
