Dear Reader,
 
 
Monrovia Reads continues its commitment of promoting literacy through programs like Read Across Monrovia. Per approval from Monrovia Unified School District, we are returning to the tradition of allowing one volunteer per classroom to read their favorite story to the children of our community. This very special event will be at 8:00 a.m. on Thursday, March 3, 2022.
Please see the included Sign-Up Form for reading options. Fill it out and return by email or to our P.O. Box no later than February 19. Once received, you will be sent a confirmation letter with your assigned school location, classroom, grade, and time. You will also be given instructions to help make this literacy experience safe and engaging for you and the students.
We hope that you will consider joining us as we help motivate and establish lifelong habits of reading and positive attitudes towards literacy. If you have any questions, feel free to email or call the contact below.
 
 
*Should there be a change in schedule or protocol due to COVID regulations, we will reach out to all volunteers as soon as possible.

NEW “PICK-UP TESTING KIT” PROGRAM TO HELP MEET COVID-19 SURGE DEMAND

January 10, 2022 – Los Angeles, CA – LA County Department of Health Services launches new program designed to increase and facilitate access to COVID-19 tests for LA County residents unable to obtain appointments. The program will allow residents to pick up a PCR test kit, perform the test, and return the completed kit to designated locations for processing. Residents will be notified of their test results within 24-48 hours.

The “Pick-Up Testing Kit” program is the latest in a series of LA County efforts designed to expand testing capacity as demand grows across the county. Recent efforts to increase capacity include increasing the days and hours of operation for existing sites, adding mobile testing units, and providing intermittent availability of Home Testing Kits via mail. 
The new “Pick-Up Testing Kit” program will operate at 13 testing sites across LA County. “Pick-Up Test Kits” will be available without an appointment and until daily supplies are exhausted. The “Pick-Up Testing Kits” will test for both COVID-19 and Influenza (A and B), the same as all LA County operated testing locations. 

“We look forward to reducing the waiting time to get tested for individuals unable to book an appointment,” said Paula Siler RN, MS Director of Community Mobile Testing Operations at the LA County Department of Health Services. “Once all 13 Pick-Up Testing locations are fully operating and once our Home Testing Kit by mail program is simultaneously relaunched later this week, we will have successfully added over 10,000 additional daily Covid tests available to the residents of LA County.”
