Stories, Games, and Smiles: UHD E-Library Leads May After-School Event at Community Family Center 📚✨

Families gathered at the Community Family Center on May 21st for a joyful After-School Event centered around reading, bilingual learning, and hands-on educational fun. As part of the center’s monthly after-school series, May’s event featured special programming led by the University of Houston-Downtown (UHD) E-Library.

Two bilingual storybooks from the UHD E-Library collection were read aloud, capturing the attention of children and families alike. Students also used Chromebooks to listen to narrated versions of the stories directly from the E-Library platform, encouraging digital literacy and at-home reading access. 📖💻

Children participated in engaging learning games designed by the UHD E-Library team, each one tied to the themes of the books. The games reinforced comprehension, vocabulary, and collaborative learning in both English and Spanish. 🎲🌟

Delicious refreshments were provided, and the UHD E-Library added an extra layer of fun with cookies and small prizes for the children. 🍪🎁

Parents and students alike left inspired by the experience and excited to continue exploring the library’s bilingual resources at home. Events like these highlight the power of reading to unite families, spark curiosity, and promote lifelong learning. 💡❤️

The UHD E-Library truly appreciates the support and collaboration from the Community Family Center, whose partnership helps bring literacy and learning to life in the community.
