2nd Annual Literacy Across Harlem Book Drive 2013

December 16, 2013

All high-quality books donated between now and December 21st(*) will be presented this weekend to families residing in homeless shelters, women involved in the criminal justice system who are rebuilding positive lives for themselves and their young children, foster-care organizations serving Harlem families, adult learners striving to improve their literacy skills, and havens for victims of domestic violence.

Special thanks to our 11 Holiday Book Drive partners for once again teaming up with us to spread the #RockThoseReads love. Some say it takes a village; we say it takes a Harlem!
