Day 145 - Hooked on Books

   

The volunteers of all ages met in shifts at the Kansas City Star building, working for the Reach out and Read Hooked on Books program.  These donated books, from schools, libraries, and book drives were collected over the year from drop boxes located throughout the city.  Last year, 26,000 books were collected and distributed.  After sorting the books into categories of preschool, elementary, teenage, high school, adult, religious, seasonal, and foreign language, we stickered and stacked and boxed them up.  Next, they will be distributed to health clinics, to the Kansas City, Kansas summer reading programs, and to charter schools in Kansas City, Missouri.
