Recently, twenty Assistance League members gathered to pack books for summer reading as part of our Literacy for Kids Program. \u00a0We aim to foster a love of reading and help students develop strong literacy skills. \u00a0Eight 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. \u00a0The 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
