Buck a Book Week! Jan 19-25

This year Buck A Book® will take place January 19 – 25. Children in grades kindergarten through 12th can participate by picking up materials from the youth services desk at the library. Or, they can stop by The Literacy Council at 38 West King Street in Lancaster.

BUCK A BOOK® was designed to get kids enthused about reading while providing a service to the community. Students read books, obtain pledges, and win prizes for their participation. Funds raised during Buck A Book® enable The Literacy Council to provide free literacy services to adults in Lancaster and Lebanon counties.

Our organization, a local non-profit agency, is committed to promoting literacy. Through the talents of professional staff and trained tutors, we assist adults in acquiring the math, reading, writing, and English communication skills needed to solve problems of daily living and to achieve personal goals. The results are that people get new or better jobs, help their children with homework, or sit down to read a book for the first time.

For more information call the Literacy Council of Lancaster Lebanon 295-5523.
