VENTURA, Calif. - Oct. 5, 2015 - PRLog -- Local PODS Moving and Storage leader is lending its services to Ventura Education Partnership and Ventura Neighborhood for Learning’s 9th Annual StoryFest, a free event that promotes early literacy amongst children and their families while preparing them for school.   PODS’ donation of a PODS container will allow the Ventura Education Partnership to store more than 1800 books for distribution at the event.

The event on Oct. 10 from 9 a.m.-2 p.m., will help celebrate the joy of reading by giving out free books in the six storytelling tents that will have books read in English, Spanish and American Sign Language.  Families and their children can also participate in other various activities such as signing up for library cards, book giveaways, musical activities, and a truckfest that will allow children the opportunity to get up close and touch trucks.

“We’re happy to donate our services to Ventura Education Partnership’s event, StoryFest,” expresses Steve Yapp, local PODS franchise owner. “This is a fantastic event that PODS is proud to be a part of because it will help future generations find their love of reading and hopefully lead them to future success.”

An outreach event for Ventura Neighborhood for Learning that began 9 years ago, StoryFest has continued to grow significantly and helped more and more children discover their love of reading.

“We’re so grateful to PODS to help us store over 1800 books for both the Book Fair and for the free books we’re giving out to the children in attendance,” said Cathy Puccetti of First 5 Ventura Neighborhood for Learning.  “To have the Support of PODS means that we can hand out more books and continue to celebrate the joy of reading with children.”
