Youth Service Project on Saturday, Feb. 18

Youth and families are invited to spread the joy of reading with others!  Participants will: 

• Put UNESCO City of Literature stickers in the front of books donated at the One Book Two Book festival and through the Pearson Foundation’s We Give Books campaign (1,720 books!)
• Make and decorate bookmarks and Alphabet Books for donation
• Bring additional books for donation (not required)
• We’ll also have a computer station set up so you can see how you can continue to read books for free online at We Give Books and have a book donated to the campaign of your choice.
