As I was clearing out old newspapers today, one article caught my eye. (Okay, lots of them did. But I want to make note of this one!) A woman named Lenore Gendron has donated tens of thousands of books to Hennepin County Medical Center for their Children's Literacy Program. Books are for patients and family members to enjoy while they are at the hospital and to take home if they wish. For people who have few books, this is a great way to promote literacy. The coordinator of the literacy program is Lynne Burke.
I am not currently getting rid of books, but I'll try connecting with this program when I go through the children's books that we are storing out in the garage.
