Each student receives a bag filled with goodies, including one of two books they’re reading, giving them something to take home, treasure, and read again. You can see from the smiles, when a child discovers the joy of reading, it opens doors to a lifetime of opportunity. 💙 #GiftOfLiteracy #Rotary #CommunityStrong #ReadTogether #CityofCoosBay #CityofNorthBend #CityofCoquille #CityofBandon #CityofReedsportWatch video on Facebook.com
