And LeapFrog made me Ambassador! I was so excited when LeapFrog asked me to be ambassador of their Summer Reading Program! As Ambassador, I would be given the LeapFrog Tag Reading Systems to my local libraries, including some extra Tag Kits to handout to families! (That’s another post, this one’s about the library;)
I chose to give the Tag Reading Systems to my boy’s school library, Highland ISD, and to my local hometown library, County-City Library of Nolan County. When I called up Becky, the librarian, she was more than excited to receive these and was already spinning ideas around on how they would implement the systems into their library.
In order for my local library to get the entire book collection, I had to make a video with the librarian! Becky, while a little shy, was more than happy to do this in order for the kids to get the entire book system! And me?? Well, you know I don’t like to see myself like that but totally worth it for the kiddos!
LeapFrog’s goal with this program is to encourage reading and make it more fun so that the children want to learn. I was able to handout the Tag and the Tag Junior Reading Systems and I know that your children will love them. Little man LOVES his!
Thank you Becky for letting me and LeapFrog into your library and the local community! And thank you to LeapFrog for bringing such an awesome reading system to our kiddos!
Enjoy the video!

That is fantastic! Especially since many libraries are facing budget cuts, it’s those budget cuts that impact their purchasing for collections. I’m a librarian in a small town in Nebraska, last year each collection had to deal with cuts to their purchasing. This year it’s the same thing. When companies step forward and help out…it’s incredible! Bravo!
