Family Reading Partnership and Buffalo Street Books are partnering for <i>Give the Gift of Family Reading </i>to help low-income families have children’s books to give to their children as gifts this holiday season. <br>
<br>
Beginning November 26, Community members are invited to participate by purchasing a book from Buffalo Street Books to donate to Family Reading Partnership. The books will be given to low-income families with babies and young children to choose from through Family Reading Partnership’s <i>Give the Gift of Family Reading</i> program. Monetary donations to purchase books are also welcome.<br>
<br>
<i>Give the Gift of Family Reading</i> is one of Family Reading Partnership’s 12 core programs dedicated to creating a culture of literacy in our community and beyond. The program helps low-income families participate in Family Reading Partnership’s nation-wide initiative, <i>A Book on Every Bed,</i> which invites all families to place a book at the foot of each child’s bed to open on a winter holiday morning. <br>
<br>
Last year, more than 2,000 children received a book gift to own and love through <i>Give the Gift of Family Reading</i>, thanks to community donations and the Lewis G. Schaeneman, Jr. Foundation.<br>
<br>
For more information, please contact Family Reading Partnership at 277-8602 or <a href="x-msg://44/melissa@familyreading.org">melissa@familyreading.org</a>.<br>
