Between The Lines

In the Past few months, Between the Lines wrapped and mailed books and recordings to 60 kids. These kids will be able to hear their parent reading a story to them during a time of the year when separation is particularly difficult

We also visited Coffee Creek Correctional Facility and recorded 26 women reading to 39 children. Those books will be wrapped and mailed in February. 

The results are in for our 2014 Book Fair and Between the Lines raised $193! In addition to the money raised, we also received 30 donated books. This money will be used to replenish our stock of CDs, CD cases, mailing envelopes and wrapping paper and the books donated will help boost our inventory so we can spend less money on books.

Between the Lines is off to a great start for the 2014-2015 League year. Our first reading took place on Saturday Sept 27th at the Coffee Creek Womens Correctional facility in the minimum security section. We recorded 27 women reading to 43 children. We received tons of positive feedback from the women, both verbally and on the surveys that we have the women fill out after the readings. Multiple women commented on how their children love to read and how this program helps the women feel connected to their children through the readings.

Between The Lines will be hosting a bookfair fundraiser on Sunday Nov 30th from 12-4 at the Barnes and Noble at Bridgeport Village. This event will be used to raise funds to by books for the program.
