Give The Gift Of Reading

The Organization for Literacy in Lambton hopes to raise 3,000 books for this year's Give-a-Book Christmas Campaign.

Last year, 2,107 new, unwrapped books were donated to children and teenagers in Lambton County.

Family Literacy Coordinator Judith Farris says books are distributed through various community partners including Aamjiwnaang First Nation, Salvation Army, and the YMCA to name a few.
