Reporters from the East Rock Community Magnet School newspaper, The East Rock Record, attended a press conference this week, to get the dirt from politicians about New Haven Reads’ new location on Willow St. New Haven Reads is mainly focused around one-on-one tutoring, but also includes a summer program, clubs, and a book bank. Already serving 500 kids with 400 tutors, the program has still been forced to turn away a large amount of kids. Now the program has just been upgraded, with an entirely new location, in a brightly renovated space on the second floor of the old Marlin firearms factory. After its opening in early April, 150 more tutors and their new students from Kindergartners to Fifth Graders will hold sessions there each week. Access to tutors will now be much easier for a large amount of Fair Haven students in the program. At the press conference, East Rock Record reporters grilled speakers, including Mayor Toni Harp, New Haven State Representatives Roland Lemar and Toni Walker, and State Senator Gary Winfield, who were largely involved in securing grants for this space.
