Tax season ends: Between February and April, Chandler libraries provided free tax preparation assistance to over 1,650 individuals in partnership with VITA and AARP. These services assist taxpayers in lower income brackets and are often a great resource for seniors. Read to Succeed wraps up another successful season: This six-month small group tutoring program served nearly 40 first grade students, helping boost their confidence and motivation to read. One of the special events was a visit by miniature donkeys and horses from Tender Little Hearts Equine Therapy, giving the kids a chance to share their reading skills. We want to thank the 19 adult volunteers who made this literacy tutoring program possible! Battle of the Books: This annual reading competition for 5th- and 6th-graders wrapped up their district and regional battles, with over 800 people attending the events to cheer the students on. Competitors read twelve books and faced tough questions to test their knowledge. Chandler District winners: - Rice Elementary

- Basis Chandler
East Valley Regional winners - Emerson Elementary, Mesa
