An ordinary book drive will not provide mass quantities of special books for children.
BUT, thanks to publishers who have partnered with Rotary Race to Literacy, as long as YOU donate the funds, we have special preferential prices to buy some of the best books possible for children. Thanks to their Early Childhood Advisor, Rotary Race to Literacy Committee knows these books are ideal for early childhood education. And all the literature and research agrees that those years from 0-6 are the most critical to a child’s long term development – not only in IQ but also in socialization.
But there is more! Some of these books have very special features such as textures and flip ups that have been proven to be best for children with a range of learning disabilities. This is indeed an unusual opportunity to fill a real need.
If we are to have the kinds of quantities of children’s books we hoped for, we have to act ASAP – these books have to be ordered and shipped. Local books are here, but there are not in large quantities so we must act quickly.
We have an opportunity to shape an entire generation. Let us make the very most of it!
