Emmaus High School Bookfair 3/9/2024
Today, you will be doing an enormous service for teens 12-15 years of age in Edinburgh, Scotland. These boys & girls are some of the most vulnerable in Scottish society who come from very tough backgrounds, often care backgrounds, and who have missed out on a lot of formal schooling.
Today’s Bookfair will benefit Judith’s Reading Room.
Judith’s Reading Room, a local Pennsylvania non profit literacy organization, established in 2010, has as its mission “to enrich lives and societies by proactively encouraging freedom through literacy.” To date, the organization has dedicated 106 libraries in 23 countries with over 133,000 donated books.
Today, you will help us establish our 107th library in our 24th country dedicated to boys & girls ages 12-15 in collaboration with the non profit HeavySound.org in Edinburgh, Scotland. This is a great organization — it is not a ‘formal’ school, but it does offer these kids an outstanding educational and activity-based program.
The BEST BOOKS for teens who read way below grade level, are GRAPHIC NOVELS! Help us obtain GRAPHIC NOVELS!
Judith’s Reading Room will dedicate its 107th library with Heavy Sound in Edinburgh, Scotland the week of August 12, 2024. Your hard work to encourage Barnes & Noble patrons to be generous will result in a spectacular library.
