Tis the Season

Once Upon a Time… It was a dark and stormy night… This is the tale that was told to me…: Throughout history, winter has been a season rich in the tradition of storytelling, serving as a captivating blend of entertainment and education for individuals of all ages. This enduring legacy is exemplified in Beowulf, one of the oldest recorded stories, where the narrative opens with a compelling command, “Listen! we have heard of the might of the kings,”. No matter the opening line, the timeless power and importance of story and literacy is in its ability to connect generations and communities through the ages.

Emerson once wrote, “Good luck is another name for tenacity of purpose,” and I can’t think of a better quote for Kids Need to Read. Over the past 16 years, Kids Need to Read has been dedicated to providing books to children and helping them discover the joy of reading and the power of a literate mind.

12 Precious Cents

Not long ago Kids Need to Read received a donation of 12 cents. This money was from a little girl at a community event who was so excited to receive books for herself and for her siblings.
