Sharing the Gift of Reading
 
Members of our club joined with other Rotarians in Livermore to participate in the Rotarian Foundation of Livermore's Annual Gift of Reading project. Each of the 969 third graders in the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District received a new, hardcover literature novel thanks to the generosity of RFL.
 
This year, in partnership with Towne Center Books, RFL invited students to choose their favorite of three titles selected by 3rd grade teachers and the Elementary Library Specialists. In February, students came to their libraries to learn about the choices and selected either The One and Only Ivan, by Katherine Applegate, Wayside School Beneath the Cloud of Doom, by Louis Sachar, or The Wild Robot, by Peter Brown.
