Book Drive...

To continue our giving for the summer we are holding a book drive for the whole month of August.

Read to Grow is a Connecticut nonprofit that builds children's literacy beginning at birth. They are a statewide nonprofit organization that connects with parents in the hospital setting and prepares them to take an active role in their child's literacy development from day one. To help parents create a language-rich environment inwhich children can develop those critical early skills, they provide books to families and to the program that serve them.

The books are given to children from individuals families and in local schools, child care centers, community programs, health care centers and hospitals. The children are always delight to receive them. For many, the book or books they receive from Read to Grow may be the first they have ever owned. The books for kids program at read to grow distributes an average of 1,500 new and gently used book per week to child who may otherwise not have their own books.

Please donate a new or gently used book anytime during the month of August at our door!!! Thanks for your support!
