Books for the Bootheel
Tuesday, November 21, 2017
There is going to be a #ReadingExplosion happening in our area thanks to a grant from the Walmart Foundation and a partnership with First Book. The Missouri Family and Community Trust (FACT) worked on the grant that brought 40,000 high-quality books available free of charge to youth in New Madrid, Mississippi, Dunklin & Pemiscot counties. The New Madrid County Family Resource Center will be housing these books for distribution throughout New Madrid County. Each county will receive 10,000 books to distribute.
