Kiwanis launches 'Love a Book, Share a Book' project

Robert Clancy of the Westlake Kiwanis boxes some of the donated books.

The Westlake Kiwanis is sponsoring a gently-used children's book collection. They are calling their project "Love a Book, Share a Book." During the month of February they will be collecting books suitable for children up through grade five. These books will be distributed to low-income families through the schools and local agencies.

Open a child’s mind to reading – all year long! Every child should experience the joy of reading. Kiwanis Read Around the World program focuses on sharing the joy of books with young children – from reading with them to providing books they can have of their very own.

There will be collections boxes set up at all the Westlake City Schools as well as Westlake Police Department and Westlake City Hall. If you are unable to drop books at any ot these location please arrange for a pick-up of books by calling or texting Westlake Kiwanis President Rick Grane at 440-829-0974.
