School libraries were decimated during COVID when many books that had been checked out, were not returned. Grants are provided to local school libraries to replaced missing and outdated books.

Over 6120 books were delivered to 33 schools, where they are given to children who have completed school’s reading program. These books are cherished and often read to younger siblings. Volunteers also participate in classroom programs by reading to and mentoring the students.
