ARC Store Helps Kids Discover the Joy of Reading

 

 

The Arc of Butte County is excited to announce it’s new “Discover Reading!” Children’s Literacy Program in Oroville.

 

During the months of April and May any child, grades K thru 8, who brings an Arc “Discover Reading!” Book Voucher to the ARC Store in Oroville,

2745 Oro Dam Blvd., will receive one free children’s book of their choice.

 

“The ARC Store receives book donations from the community every day,”

says Brenda Easter, ARC Store manager, “As a grandmother, I thought why not share them with the children in town and hopefully spark their imaginations.”

 

The Arc distributed approx 1,000 vouchers to four Oroville Elementary Schools and the Boys & Girls Club on Lower Wyandotte. We hope this new program will inspire children to read, explore and expand their horizons.
