THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE AND THE ALBUQUERQUE BUSINESS EDUCATION COMPACT HAVE TEAMED-UP FOR THE “READ-TO-ME” BOOK DRIVE. IT PUTS A BOOK IN THE HANDS OF CHILDREN ACROSS THE CITY.
PAULA DELAP-PADILLA WITH THE CITY SAYS THEY HOPE TO COLLECT 60-THOUSAND BOOKS THIS YEAR WITH A THIRD GOING TO SOME APS. A-B-Q RIDE PUTS CHILDREN’S BOOKS ON BUSES, SO A THIRD OF THE BOOKS WILL ALSO GO TO THE BUSES. AND ANOTHER THIRD GOES TO COMMUNITY GROUPS, SCHOOLS, AND PEOPLE WHO WORK WITH FAMILIES WHO WILL ALSO GET A THIRD OF THE BOOKS.
YOU’RE ASKED TO DONATE NEW OR GENTLY USED BOOKS NOW THROUGH MARCH 31ST. VARIOUS BUSINESSES ARE COLLECTION LOCATIONS, INCLUDING LA MONTANITA NATURAL FOODS CO-OP, BARNES AND NOBLE, AND THE CITY- COUNTY LIBRARY SYSTEM.
