A C.A.R.E. package is a selection of FREE books, writing supplies, and other surprises that learners can request from RCLS Literacy Services! These packages are designed to support their learning journey and provide additional resources for practice at home.

How can your learner create their C.A.R.E. package?

• Look at the Libib Catalog to see the books they can choose from: https://www.libib.com/u/rclscares

• They can create their C.A.R.E. package at this link: https://bit.ly/CAREPackages

Where will they pick up their C.A.R.E. package?

• Learners can pick up their C.A.R.E. package at their closest library

• They will be called when it arrives

• The packages will be sent out by the beginning of September, so they should arrive the 1st or 2nd week

When can they request a C.A.R.E. package?

• C.A.R.E. packages are sent out every 3 months

• Make sure they create their package before the deadline

If you have any questions about the C.A.R.E. packages or need help explaining the program to your learner, please don't hesitate to contact us at Literacy@rivlib.net or call (951) 685-6901.
