Recently, twenty Assistance League members gathered to pack books for summer reading as part of our Literacy for Kids Program.  We aim to foster a love of reading and help students develop strong literacy skills.  Eight schools — Cora Kelly, Dogwood, Garfield, Loch Lomond, Lynbrook, Pine Spring, Sudley, and Yorkshire — will receive a total of 1,890 books to stock their Little Libraries with age-appropriate titles for their students in Kindergarten through 6th grade.  The selection includes classics such as “The Trumpet of the Swan” and “The Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler,” as well as popular series like “Wings of Fire” and “Puppy Place.” We also included a selection of short biographies featuring American artists and musicians, and historic and sports figures.
