Kids Need to Read Cares

Written by Erin Casey

At B. F. Norton Elementary School in Cumberland, Rhode Island, the library is only 40% stocked.  Not only that, the books are old and many are falling apart.  Chris Naughton, Chair of the Library Improvements Committee, told Kids Need to Read that most of the books her child brings home from school are in need of repair.

Kids Need to Read donated fifty books to B. F. Norton’s library.  Of course, all of the books KNTR provides are not only of high quality in between the covers, but they are brand new and in great physical condition.  According to Chris Naughton, the books Kids Need to Read donated were a welcome addition to their library:

We cannot express how grateful we are to be receiving these books!  Thank you so much for donating them to us, as they will not only improve our library, but will truly enhance our students’ education!  Thank you for caring.

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.
