The Rotary Club of Nashua West again worked in partnership with Barnes and Noble for our Annual Book Fair Literacy Program. Through this program Rotarians are given B&N Book Fair Vouchers which they use to either shop on-line or at any store nationwide for books to donate or to purchase personal items. In turn, the bookstore then issues an additional voucher according to the club’s percentage of total sales.
Our book fair benefits the NH State Prison System. This year 60 books with a value of $660 were donated to help fill the prison’s library shelves for the incarcerated.
The gift card that Barnes and Noble donated will enable Rotary West to fund our Spring Literacy Project. Last year books were given to the SNHHS Birthplace so that all new parents with babies could leave the hospital with a new book.
Thanks again to everyone who support this beneficial program!
