Dear Rebecca, Amanda, Elena, Giulia, Abby, Caroline and Amy,
On behalf of the Board of Directors of Judith’s Reading Room, a global literacy nonprofit based in Berks County, PA, I’m writing today to express our heartfelt gratitude for your spectacular effort during the recent Book Fair at Barnes & Noble Center Valley on behalf of Judith’s Reading Room. Your sweet encouragement – persistence – saleswoman-ship! – resulted in a whopping gift card for our organization in the amount of $1,148.52.
You will remember that Judith’s Reading Room encouraged you the day of the book fair to inform patrons that their generosity would result in the purchase of teenage graphic novels for Heavy Sound near Edinburgh, Scotland. We had promised Heavy Sound that we would invest $2,000 in books to establish our 107th library in our 24th country. So, you see, you helped us achieve more than 1/2 of that commitment. That is HUGE.
You may visit our website at www.judithsreadingroom.org to learn more about our 106 libraries established so far, along with our annual Freedom Through Literacy Awards.
Warmest regards,
Cathy L. Leiber, Co-Founder
