Navient Foundation donates to local library
August 23 2018 - 10:00AM
Navient Foundation, the company-sponsored philanthropic fund,
announced a $10,000 contribution to support Osterhout Free
Library’s children literacy development programs. The company’s
foundation has supported the library and its initiatives since
2001.
“Good literacy habits start at a young age,” said Christopher
Kelly, director of development, Osterhout Free Library. “We
appreciate the Navient Foundation’s continued support over the
years. Without the Foundation’s support, the library would not be
able to offer as many educational programs.”
Contributions will help purchase books and literature materials
to support special programs developed and implemented by the Youth
Services Department.
The library offers residents including local Navient employees a
plethora of literacy development programs for children. Programs
include Mommy & Me, where mothers read to their child, as well
as Read to a Dog, which helps children overcome reading and speech
difficulties by reading to a canine companion.
“My wife and I have taken my daughters to many children programs
at the library since they were toddlers,” said Navient employee
John Zemetro. “They always found the activities educational and
entertaining. Now teenagers, they still enjoy reading and utilize
the library for various school projects.”
As part of the Luzerne County Library System, the historic
library provides materials and services to 170,000 children and
families a year, enabling them to obtain information free of charge
for their personal, educational, recreational and professional
needs.
