Giving the Gift of Literacy Campaign KIDS NEED BOOKS AND HERE'S WHY:
Access to books is one of the greatest contributors to educational equality. Books have been shown to have a positive relationship with a child's interest in reading, academic and writing performance, and language development.
We know that fostering a love of learning and having access to books is key to improving literacy in Palm Beach County.
