Reading is extremely important for people of all ages, especially kids. Unfortunately, with the fast-moving life styles most live these days, and not to mention the economy, we seem to be reading less and less. That is why I decided to start Locals Read. As an author and book lover, I value literature dearly, so with this organization, I hope to reignite the love of reading for all generations by opening up the availability of books (i.e. donating to libraries, community centers, schools, and giving books out, etc.). If you or someone you know likes books or know a local organization in need of some books, request any title(s) or suggested organizations below. Happy reading!
