“A dictionary teaches a child how to approach a problem and use critical thinking skills by sounding out the word and finding it in the dictionary. This simple task gives them a feeling of self-confidence and satisfaction that they cannot get online.”

Thank you to Library Manager Lizeth Legasapi for sending in these pictures of students who received dictionaries last week.

“I’m so happy to let you know that we have been able to provide 500 students in Calexico with dictionaries. We have been attending Career Days at schools in addition to giving dictionaries at the library. Many children were so excited to receive a copy while others were not really sure what a dictionary was.”
