OUR PROGRAMS
At Lectura Lounge, we offer a wide variety of programs dedicated to literacy, multilingualism, and community-building. All of our offerings are free to the community.
Reading Buddies
Volunteers read in their dominant language to participants whose primary language is opposite theirs. Build confidence, sharpen listening skills, boost imagination and vocabulary, and make friends! A complimentary light meal is served before each session. Join an upcoming session!
Witty Writers
A welcoming, cozy gathering for writers, nonwriters, and in-the-closet writers! An award-winning local author and writer for Neighbors of Park City and Neighbors of Heber Valley magazines will facilitate each workshop, which runs for 8 weeks. Each witty writer will contribute their work to a published compilation and have the opportunity to participate in a spoken-word performance for our community. Click here to sign up!
¡Divertimos!
Drop-in, twice-weekly sessions hosted by native Spanish-speaking activity leaders, featuring Spanish games, conversation, podcasts, and movies—todos en español, por supuesto. Dual Language Immersion students can practice their Spanish throughout the school year, and those wanting to learn Spanish are welcome to join and be immersed!
Homeschooler Huddle
The Lounge hosts storytime and games—sometimes in Spanish—for our local homeschool network, followed by healthy nibbles and free hugs! Marcela Pomadoro will be hosting Yoga in Spanish for our homeschool network starting on Wednesday, October 16, for a total of six weeks. Email info@caseyandcharleys.org if you'd like to join us!
Benny’s Bookclub
Park City mama Stacey Sutherland and her son, Bennett, share their love of reading, for kids ages 3 to 8, once a month, with an engaging read-aloud and fun book-related activities thereafter. If you're interested in becoming a member of this cool club (non-homeschoolers are welcome!), shoot Stacey a note at staceydentalhygiene@gmail.com.
Junior Ambassadors
Our first junior representatives, Greta Filippone and Mara Barth, recently sorted and categorized dozens of book donations at the Lounge and will be helping with outreach and marketing, as well as sharpening up their leadership skills via opportunities to run some of the Lounge’s program sessions.
