Children's Book Donations Needed

Plans are in full swing for the laura Bush Literacy Program. This program will include two aspects:

"Story Night"  Staff members will be reading short stories of interest to children.  These periodic events will be held in our Visitor Center and attendees will be provided refreshments. These special evening sessions will last from 45-60 minutes and the target age group will be noted in press releases and ads.

"The Laura Bush Bookshelves" Children's books will be available, free of charge, to all area children. Books will be available in our Visitor Center and can be picked up during our normal business hours.

In order to make this a success we are asking for your help. We are asking the public for donations of new or gently used books for children of all ages.  Please drop off your donations at our Gift Shop.  We can arrange to pick up large volumes of books if you are unable to deliver them.  Please call 685-1112 to make arrangements for pick-up.

More details of this program will be available in the next few weeks.
