LA HABRA, Calif.–– American First Credit Union said it has partnered with Neveah, a nine-year-old girl with a dream to share her books with her community. Now when members visit the credit union’s La Habra location they can participate in the “Take a Book, Return a Book” free book exchange program in the branch’s children play area.
American First Credit Union hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony to open Neveah’s fourth Little Free Library in La Habra. Credit union employees, La Habra Police Officers (including canine friend, Emerson), and family gathered together to celebrate its grand opening.
The credit union reported that at age six, Neveah started setting up Little Free Libraries in La Habra. She was inspired by a television commercial talking about Little Free Library programs. With much determination and support from family and friends, Neveah made her idea into a reality and now has four locations throughout the city of La Habra. She plans to expand by opening a location in every city park, American First said.
“When I met Neveah and her grandmother at the Coffee-with-a-Cop event, I was amazed to see how dedicated she is to helping kids read, especially considering her age. Our associates are happy to help by contributing books to the Little Free Library,” said Jose Jimenez, Senior Account Executive at American First Credit Union. “She’s a determined and goal-driven young girl with big dreams.”
