Description
LIFE has given out over 350,000 free books!
The LIFE program is a free book-a-month program for all children living in Whiteside County from birth to age 5. Each month, a new, carefully selected book is mailed in the child’s name directly to their home. When a child is read to regularly during their first years, they are given the biggest boost toward a successful education. LIFE is one of the most effective ways to inspire the joy of reading for children. This past year we mailed almost 20,000 books to children in Whiteside County.
