Library Literacy Book Donation

Our Rotary club has had a great relationship with the Tyrone Library in support of their summer reading program. This year two of our members had a fantastic idea of taking our commitment to literacy to the next level. We asked the library if they would welcome the idea of our club purchasing youth books and having our speakers sign them as our support of the youth collection. It has been a wonderful idea that our speakers have embraced. The library agreed to purchase the books and we get them signed and donate them back to to the library. We have spent $111 on books to date for this project. Although two members coordinate with the library and speakers, 100% of our club is in support of the idea. We will have every speaker sign the books. This project will reach hundreds of children in the coming years. The second set of youth books are on order.
