Our team is happy to support The Merced County Fair early childhood literacy program! Any opportunity to get free books into the hands of our youth is a great one!

Last call for book donations! 📚 As part of our Early Childhood Literacy Partnership Program, we’re inviting the community to help us stock the shelves for this year’s Merced County Fair Reading Zone!

Stop by the Merced School Employees Federal Credit Union branch in Merced or Atwater to donate a new or gently used children’s book and support our pre-Fair Book Drive. Every book collected helps ensure that each child who visits the Reading Zone during the Fair can take home a free book of their own! 🙌

Together, we’re building a love of reading, supporting local families, and creating even more opportunities for kids to learn, grow, and imagine. Join us in helping turn the page for another great year!

Program Proudly Presented by Healthcare, , and .

Shoutout to Jose Flores and Samuel Ramos, my dad, for all their hard work bringing our new Children’s Garden boxes to life! 🌱🔨

These boxes are already looking amazing, and there is still more garden magic to come. Once our talented artist-in-residence Liz Petitt is back home, she’ll be adding her creative touch and helping turn them into something extra special for the kids.

A big thank you as well to our Children’s Garden sponsor, A Plus Plumbing, for helping support these wonderful new additions to the Gustine Traveling Library. We’re so excited to keep growing this space into a place where kids can explore, learn, create, and maybe even get a little dirt on their hands along the way. 🐞🌼📚
