Book barrel campaign launched at mall

The Kids' Talking Wall has joined forces with the Carson City Library Youth Services in launching their Readers are Leaders - community-wide book barrel campaign.

Book barrels will be set up by The Kids' Talking Wall at the Carson Mall on Feb. 13 and once a month thereafter offering free books for children to take home and read. These are gently used books, no torn or missing pages, appropriate for students in grades K-12.

Books that are not appropriate for donation include textbooks, teacher's editions and workbooks.

Businesses and organizations that would like to serve as book barrel sites can call Partnership Carson City, The Kids' Talking Wall at 841-4730 ext. 201.
