Reaching Young Readers With Drive

NorthBay book drive kicked off May 4

Wouldn’t it be great to send every child in our two adopted schools home for the summer with a book or two?

NorthBay Healthcare's  May children’s book drive kicked off with a “Fill the Ambulance with Books” event last week. More than 300 children’s books were collected during the two-day event. And there is  still  the rest of the month to fill collection bins with donations of new and gently used children’s books.

Two Solano County Library representatives sat at NorthBay's purple ambulance encouraging readers to sign up for their summer reading program.

The books will be donated to Fairview Elementary School in Fairfield, Padan Elementary School in Vacaville and The Leaven, an after-school program for at-risk children. Books are sought for readers from kindergarten through sixth-grade.

“If your children have outgrown some of their books, don’t take them to Goodwill, our schools can make good use of them,” said Marilyn Ranson, public relations coordinator for NorthBay Healthcare and book drive organizer.

For further information, call Ranson at 646-3302.
