We've had great success with our annual Guest Reader Month at NEIRRS! Community leaders join regular reading volunteers to read from the Journal Gazette or News-Sentinel during February. A few read magazines. It's a fun way to introduce our service to new people. Of course we ask them to help us spread the word. All in all we've had 17 guests and added 4 new readers because they so enjoyed their experience with us. Mayor Tom Henry was able to join us on Leap Day and really helped us end our month on a high note!
A big thank you to all our Guests -- and another big thank you to our regular volunteers who made that experience so positive!
The link above and at the end, is to a YouTube video that includes most of our guests. Enjoy!

During 2011, we'll be changing over our Blog page from www.readindiana.blogspot.com to http://neirrs.blogspot.com/
Oddly enough, "NEIRRS" wasn't available when we started our Blog two years ago...but now it is. So, it should be much easier for you to remember and easier for you to follow what's going on at NEIRRS.
We'll be posting to both Blog locations for 2011 and then moving over to just the NEIRRS.blogspot.com address in 2012. Stay with us and be sure to share your comments. You have to register for a G-mail account (that means you have to sign up for a free gmail email address to comment) - but it's easy and free. Tell us what you're reading, why you enjoy volunteering at NEIRRS, and if you know anyone whose life has been improved by using the NEIRRS service.
