Women’s History Month

As the LC’s Books For Africa campaign comes to a close, we thought we’d do one more thing to prove that spreading literacy throughout the world is one of our proudest achievements. In honor of Women’s History Month, members of our club donated a small sum to the Room to Read Foundation, a charity that provides young women with the means necessary to gain literacy skills. In this case, our money will be used to help build a library to store the book donations that the good people at Room to Read have received. To see what you can do to help, visit them at http://www.roomtoread.org/about/index.html
