The Library Fairy® Brings Magic to Reading

The Library Fairy® is one of RIFSoCal’s most delightful friends! The Library Fairy® is a magical mascot of books and stories, igniting the love of reading through folklore. A combination of Dr. Seuss and Glenda the Good Witch, she has performed on television, radio and in libraries, schools and theatres introducing thousands of young lives to the art of storytelling. She has just published a new book titled, The Magical Tree and Musical Wind.
Sharing her love of books and stories at RIFSoCal Motivational Reading Events is one of her favorite activities. Her inspirational programs promote literacy, diversity and self-esteem and her motto is, “Be the hero of your own story!”
