The Books for Kids story . . .

Once upon a time . . .
A group of grown-ups in Erie thought how wonderful it would be if every child in Erie owned his or her own books. So they began an organization called Books for Kids. That was in 1990.

So what did they do?

They got a whole bunch of brand-new, really good books and gave them away to children whose parents couldn't afford to buy books. Sounds neat, doesn't it?

Guess how many books they've given away to children in Erie county?


Over 250,000!

Isn't that great?

What's really sad is that these nice people keep running out of books and the money to buy them.

So what do they do now?

They ask other nice people (like you) to help them buy books for needy children.

Won't you help these nice people by joining Books for Kids, Erie Chapter today?
