RSVP Read Together's Second Annual Books & Bears Program is coming in 2010!
Brought to you by: The Rotary Club of Greater Bend
and RSVP
A Child’s Awareness of Giving
the Love of Books
RSVP Read Together Outreach
Mission Statement: Promote child literacy by teaching children the joy of giving by having them donate their used books or buying new books with their allowance to give to less advantaged children.
Attention kids-Start saving your books and your allowance now to help all of those children who cannot afford their own books and who may be unable to even get to the library!
We are looking for books appropriate for infants through elementary school. You will feel great donating your books, so just be sure they are clean and in good condition. Spanish language books welcome.

Bend resident Phyllis Bear is ready to fill 50 empty barrels with kids’ books, as part of RSVP Read Together Books & Bears. The second annual book drive will be in May 2010 when the donation barrels — donated by the Rotary Club of Greater Bend — will appear across Deschutes County. People are being asked to donate used children’s books to the program, which will give them to kids in need. The program is targeting children from birth to fifth grade. Bear hopes the program will collect 4,000 to 5,000 books in its first year. To donate, look for barrel locations on the program’s Web site at www.rsvpco.org/BooksandBears.html.
