Assistance League of Bend plans children’s book giveaway in Sunriver
SUNRIVER, Ore. (KTVZ) -- The Assistance League of Bend will be providing free books to children at a pop-up event on Monday in Sunriver.
The book distribution will take place at 2 p.m. at The Door Church on Enterprise Drive in conjunction with NeighborImpact’s free food distribution program. Each child will receive a Scholastic book pack containing four new books, thanks to the Assistance League of Bend’s Operation School Bell® literacy initiative.
Families will be able to select age-appropriate books based on their child’s grade level: K-2. 3-5 or 6-8. Reading helps children continue to improve their skills and encourages a lifelong habit.
