Maureen’s Readers featured in Star Tribune

It was great to read in the Star Tribune today about one of our favorite authors – Jennifer Trebisovsky (Jennifer Universe). Prominently featured in the article is Maureen’s Readers:

One classroom visit a few years ago led to a serendipitous meeting and fortuitous partnership. Reading to a kindergarten class at Rice Lake Elementary School in Maple Grove, Trebisovsky met another volunteer, Dennis Wavrin of Minnetonka.

Wavrin runs a program called Maureen’s Readers that he and his adult kids founded in 2019 in memory of his late wife, a retired third-grade teacher and avid reader.

Maureen’s Readers distributes books – Wavrin estimates they’ve passed the 5,000 mark – to children around the metro area, especially those who might not have many opportunities to acquire books.

It’s great to see authors featured in the news and we are proud of our role in helping distribute books such as Jennifer’s to children to help further our mission.
