Mascots, Costumes, and Fun!
To the children’s delight, sometimes Winnie the Pooh or Clifford the Big Red Dog come to visit the school during Motivational Events. RIFSoCal children have written and sent pictures to show us that Ronald McDonald, the Library Fairy, and the Cat in the Hat have come to their schools, too. Let us know if you have seen Dangerman or any other superheroes, book heroes, or just plain funny costumes. Motivational Events are fun for everyone!!

When I grow up…
Motivational events often involve costumes, role playing, and dreams. Children love to pretend to be someone else. Books take them to new lands and allow them to identify with new people…sometimes, for one day, they can be whom they want to be when they grow up…
Motivational Events Put Fun Into Reading!
Every RIFSoCal site holds three Motivational Reading Events a year. These special celebratory activities and festivals are planned, organized and conducted by volunteers and culminate with the children choosing a book to take home to add to their personal library. Parents, relatives, teachers, librarians, school administrators, students, civic groups, retirees, corporate volunteers, and others work together to get kids excited about books – to make reading FUN!
