The book drive collected 4,839 books. This included more than 1,000 new books donated by Kids Read Now, another non-profit literacy organization that provides books for summer reading to the district.
The books will support literacy programs and families in the Miami Valley. Most books were added to Project READ’s book distribution program, which gives away thousands of books every year to schools, non-profit organizations, and directly to children and families in need.
