Literacy

The Literacy Program began in 2005 to address the pressing need for children’s books for community and school libraries.  The Power Pioneers have distributed hundreds of books to schools in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island.  The librarians and kids have been thrilled with the generosity of our members. 

Our Branches have enthusiastically endorsed and supported this program in innovative ways, by accepting new and gently used books, and expanding the “donate a book” request to other events and activities.  In addition, we now have wish lists from our schools and solicit monetary donations to purchase specific books at a discount with our Chapters.Indigo corporate account.

Our initial goal is to donate 5,000 books to schools by 2010.
