A spring vote for you!

With all the headlines screaming disaster and heartache, it's easy to get disheartened. Reader to Reader has supported schools damaged by tornadoes, public libraries devastated by flooding, and communities deeply affected by local tragedy. But each day we see examples of how much good is out there. That goodness is not always in the headlines. Sometimes, it's tucked quietly away, but it's there, and is the very reason we do this work--to bring books and other resources to the next generation that so richly deserves them.

Reader to Reader needs your help to get books in the hands of children across the country. Will you donate or join our team? Your support makes a difference!

Thanks,
Kat

Happy January vote! Wishing you and your projects the very best this year.
On Thanksgiving Day 2012, someone broke in to Hopi Mission School in Kykotsmovi Village, AZ and stole all their laptops. Without them, students have little access to technology, research, Internet and essential learning tools. No one deserves to lose learning opportunities and resources because of someone else's hurtful actions.
Reader to Reader is raising funds to not only replace these computers, but to keep them safe in a locking cart and prevent any future theft. If you can, please help me support the children of Hopi Mission School today. If you donate $17 or more, Crowdrise will automatically enter you for a raffle to get a $100 donation to your cause (and a $100 Roozt gift card!)
Join our team and spread the word! http://www.crowdrise.com/HopiMissionSchool/fundraiser/katlibby

Hi Bob, October vote for you…
Hi Bob,


October vote for you, just in time for Halloween! Wanna hear something scary? Children in low-income neighborhoods have access to only one age-appropriate book on average for every 300 children. Only ONE book! That impacts over 16,400,000 children in the United States.



Even more frightening, 80% of preschool and after-school programs serving low-income populations have no age-appropriate books for their children. Books are so important to a child’s development for learning, imagination and literacy.



Please help Reader to Reader get books into these communities. We donate hundreds of thousands of books each year directly to schools, after-school programs, classrooms, day care programs and other groups serving low-income children across the country. Your donation of $10 today will help us send a box full of much-needed books to6 children that deserve better.
Thanks for all your support, and spread the word!


Happy reading,
Kat (and the Reader to Reader team)

August vote for you! Did you know that 60% of low-income children do not own a single book? School and public libraries are their only source of reading material, yet budget cuts leave many libraries unable to buy new books, or even without a full-time librarian. Reading is so important to a kid's education. Would you help Reader to Reader bring books to low-income schools and libraries across the country? A $10 donation sends a much-needed box of books. If you can't give, please join our team and ask others to help change the world, one book at a time. Thank you!

CROWDRISING SINCE: Jun 27, 2010
Stuff About Me:
I have worked for non-profits throughout my career.

In addition to my work life, I have written for The New Jersey Star Ledger, The Spectator magazine (Raleigh, North Carolina), The New York Blade and The Washington Blade. More recently, I have written theatre reviews and a sporadic column, “Bitten by a Zebra,” for the New York Resident.

My photography has been published in The New York Times, Playbill.com, Newsday, TimeOut/NY, BroadwaySpace.com, BroadwayWorld.com, The Enjoyment of Theatre (Fourth Edition), How to Read a Church (HiddenSpring Press), Cantatas Vol 15: New York (CD by John Eliot Gardiner), and one of my photos was featured on ABC’s The View. Three of my images are on permanent exhibit at The National Museum of Dentistry, a Smithsonian Affiliate Museum, in Baltimore.

Honors and awards include being named a winner of the International Association of Business Communicators Call for Research Papers, the Jim Henson Award for Projects Related to Puppetry, an artistic achievement citation from the Kennedy Center/American College Theatre Festival and New York Press’s “Best Straight-Faced Cover Story Interview with Joan Rivers” (2003 Best of New York City issue).

I have written plays that have been produced in nine states (maybe more). One of my musicals (co-author/book & lyrics), Oedipus! A New Musical Comedy, is published by Baker’s Plays.

In addition to all of the above, I taught playwriting for the Honors Program at the University of Maryland, has been the official photographer for the National Whistler’s Convention, was an improvisational comedy performer and was the artistic director of a children’s theatre.
