Helping preschool children discover the joy of reading and the basic reading skills needed to enter school is what the Bookcase Project is all about.
Officially known as Ashland County Bookcase Project for Every Child, the program is run through the Ashland County-West Holmes Career Center.
This year, 80 bookcases are being constructed and filled with books to make up for missing last year due to the pandemic. In past years, 60 bookcases were given out.
Dr. Julia Wright started the program 10 years ago and has watched it grow. She is a former school teacher and psychologist and special education administrator. Through this program, the children are being introduced to books and experiencing success and reading in a positive way.
