We don't often think of books as something to give to children on our
Montana reservations, but they are so important in helping children
who have limited exposure to the world at large! Books are critical
for the educational and psychosocial development of children,
particularly children who don't have access to books in their home.
The Boys and Girls Clubs in Ronan will soon be opening a new
facility having purchased and remodeled the old Total Home Store. When
they open their doors this fall, they will have the capacity to serve
200-250 children. Additionally they will have room for an expanded
library. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to stock that library with a
collection of high quality educational, inspiring and motivational
books that will stimulate and supplement the education of our youth?
To provide books for these precious children who can benefit so
much from them, Usborne Books & More will award a 50% match to ALL
donations. Please consider giving $25 to improve the literacy rates of
our youth one book at a time. In fact every study conducted in the
last 10 years has found the same results: children, particularly
children from low-SES families, with more books in their home reach
higher levels of academic achievement and score better on standardized
tests than those without a home library.1 For most children who attend
the Boys and Girls Club, it is their second home, one that provides a
stable, loving, nurturing environment.
Usborne Books & More is pleased to be able to offer the Boys
and Girls Club a 50% match in funds through their literacy program,
Reach for the Stars. That means $2000 would purchase $3000 in books
and/or learning tools for the club participants.
THANK YOU for helping make that happen!
