"Lori contacted me regarding her program Literacy and Movement in the Fall of 2008. I was curious about the program as it was something new, something I had not done at Memorial Hall Library. I liked that it paired books with physical activity so I hired Lori for two programs. Lori was excellent with the children. She kept them moving, laughing, and having a good time for 1 hour. I have recommended Lori's program to other libraries because it is something different. The parents were thrilled with the program because they recognized that the kids need more activity. The kids had a ball! As a professional and a parent I see two very important developmental skills addressed by Lori's program, literacy and fitness. I was inspired to add more fitness into my child's day after she attended Lori's program. This program is an asset to libraries, day care centers, schools and families and a great pairing of activities for children." -Beth Kerrigan, Children's Librarian, Memorial Hall Library, Andover, MA
