Capital Area Community Services has been selected to receive a Books for Ownership matching grant award from Reading Is Fundamental, Inc. with an allocation of $6000 in the RIF Bookstore, equal to 2000 books!

Books for Ownership, RIF’s flagship reading program, enables children to select new, age-appropriate books to take home and own and is supported by resources for parents, educators, and local literacy advocates to create a continuous focus on reading. This program enables participating children to select books to take home and own and relies on a simple yet fundamental truth, if you allow children choice and access, they will become more engaged readers and learners.

Thank you RIF!!
