Cops ‘n' Kids was created to give children access to books and to provide them with free ones to take home. Taylor Rezac started working with the program during her time at Liberty High School, and she has since created the official “Cops ‘n' Kids of DeSales” club at DeSales University to encourage volunteers. “I get more involved year after year,” says Rezac, noting that she loves the lasting impact and connection she is able to have with the kids. Typically, the children who attend this program don't have the best home lives, so Cops ‘n' Kids is like their second home. It gives them a safe and relaxed environment where they can read. The program can see anywhere between 10 and 42 children per session, which takes place every Wednesday in Bethlehem. As a volunteer, Rezac will search for books, help deliver them, assist at book fairs and read to the kids. To Rezac, it doesn't feel like work; in fact, she hopes to do more and continue to help the program strive for success in any way that she can.
