In partnership with the United Way of Lane County, BookFest promotes reading and prevents summer learning loss by providing K-2nd graders with self-selected reading material for the summer. Providing students with age-appropriate books helps to improve reading scores. You can provide kids with the books they need to succeed by hosting a book drive, donating funds, or donating books. In May, we will distribute books to students at local schools throughout Lane County. Students will take home their favorites to keep and build their home libraries.
