One Book Colorado gives away copies of the same book title to each four year old in the state via public libraries and Denver Preschool Program classrooms.
If you love libraries and aren’t part of your local library’s Friends group, you may want to consider joining. Friends of Library groups can be found in nearly every community and on many campuses across the country. These groups made up of volunteers, raise money, and increase public awareness about their library. Money raised by these groups supports such important library services as summer reading programs for children, author events, special collections, and new technologies. Some Friends work with their local libraries to get involved in politics, lobbying for advocacy efforts such as increasing the library’s budget, building new facilities, or even legislation that affects libraries.
