    • About Us

    Raising Readers in Story County (RRSC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the language and literacy development of young children in Story County. We support language and literacy development of young children by providing books, caregiver guidance, and early childhood programs.

    We believe…

    1. Books and reading are vital for promoting knowledge, academic success, joy, empathy, and enhanced potential.
    2. Focusing on the critical first five years optimizes children’s cognitive, social-emotional, and communicative development.
    3. All children can learn and have amazing potential.
    4. Caregivers want the best for their children and can be a positive influence as their first teachers.
    5. Leading with empathy requires an intentional focus on children and families living with risk factors.
    6. Educating children is a shared responsibility and collaborating with caregivers and community partners is essential.
