Hi there, I’m Gina. As an Omaha professional, mother, and dedicated volunteer to literacy efforts, I’ve spent the past several years championing literacy through the Literacy Center, which is focused on building literacy skills for adults. I recently started working with DIBS, so you’ll be hearing more from me later on.
In the late 1800s, Joseph Malins, an English activist, wrote a poem about a cliff, a fence and an ambulance. The gist: There's a cliff that's very pleasant to walk on, so many people in the town nearby venture close to its edge. Some slip and fall into the valley below, and the town decides something has to be done.
DIBS for Kids is a literacy nonprofit founded by a former first grade teacher. We believe every student should have a great book to read at home every night, regardless of family income.
With our classroom-based libraries, we support teachers to send books home with students in a hands-off way. With our student-led technology, we aim to make reading the most fun thing our students do every evening.
