Between November 20th to November 24th the Rotary Club of Nashua West partnered with Barnes and Noble for our Annual Book Fair Literacy Program.
Through this program Rotarians are given 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, Barnes and Noble then issues an additional voucher according to the club’s percentage of total sales.
This book fair benefits the NH State Prison System. This year 82 books with a value of $885 were donated providing books for the inmates to read to their children during the holidays and to help fill the prison’s library shelves for the incarcerated.
The gift card that Barnes and Noble donates enables Rotary West to fund 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. A donation of books was also given to PAL to stock their library.
Thanks again to all who support this beneficial program!
