Book Nook Stewards
Readers to Leaders has twenty-one small book shelves scattered about the Dalton/Whitfield area. These book shelves are in waiting rooms of businesses, Dr.'s offices, and non-profit organizations. The goal of this project is to simply putting books in the hands of children. While parents are waiting, children may read these books and if they choose to, thay may take them home.
We are in need of stewards to assist in maintaining these book shelves. Books are stored at the Readers to Leaders office. Stewards check the book shelves, get books from R2L and restock them when needed.
