Studies show children growing up in poverty rarely have access to books at home. But, when children receive new books their interest in reading more than triples! Improved reading not only makes a difference at school, it opens the door for a child to become a lifelong learner.

You can be part of the solution by giving the gift of knowledge and inspiration to at-risk young people by donating a new book at the Barnes & Noble Holiday Book Drive — at the Citrus Heights location.
