Auf die Bedeutung des Lesens und der Leseförderung in Bibliotheken weist Lani Yoshimura, Gilroy's community librarian, in dem Artikel "Library Turns a Page" von Marty Cheek, hin: "The children's story telling program helps kids associate the library as a fun place to go, she said. 'This is important because this is where the foundation is built for reading,' she said. 'If you show your kids your love for reading, how much you enjoy it, then your children are going to be readers too.' And readers are people who do well in their lives both economically and with personal enrichment, she added".
