Reading Adventures
Reading Adventures fosters a love of reading while supporting academic achievement and personal growth. By placing books directly into the hands of children, the program encourages students to explore new worlds, expand their knowledge, and strengthen critical thinking skills.
During the 2025–2026 school year, Assistance League of Los Gatos-Saratoga volunteers read grade-level books in 45 classrooms across 7 schools, reaching more than 975 students. The books selected for classroom visits are donated to teachers to enrich their classroom libraries. In addition, each participating student receives three books annually—distributed in December and June—to help build a personal library at home and encourage lifelong reading habits.
