After 25 years of supporting Tucson's youngest readers, Make Way for Books is bringing its programming to more cities throughout Arizona.
Bill Finley Special to the Arizona Daily Star If only she had time, the executive director at Make Way for Books might ponder the whereabouts of those first children touched by the program in 1998.
“SO many people to talk to,” Salafsky laughed, but Make Way has a great story to tell, and she wants to tell everyone. Already, Make Way for Books has opened satellite locations in Chandler and Avondale. An office in Phoenix is scheduled to open later this year. New initiatives are also being explored in Flagstaff and Chinle.
The other Make Way program, called “Story School,” supports home care and child care providers, even if they’re grandparents or friends. It has matured into an organization with 32 staff members and an operating budget of $2.5 million, but expanding statewide will be a major undertaking.
