THE STORY OF DONATED CLOTHING
The reason behind First Library's request for new clothing donations only.
Children from low-income communities start first grade up to two years behind their peers because of the lack of books and regular reading in the home.
THE WINDOW IS SO SMALL TO GET BOOKS INTO THE HANDS OF CHILDREN THAT FIRST LIBRARY HAS STREAMLINED THE CLOTHING DONATION PROCESS TO ENSURE CHILDREN GET BOOKS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND START READING EARLY AND OFTEN.
