Norwood Child and Family Resource Centre hosting book drive to support early childhood literacy
Books for Children Book Drive
October 1 - 31, 2024
The foundation for a child’s communication skills develops in their first six years of life - before they even go to Kindergarten.
Parents reading with their children is a key part of developing that foundation, and we provide FREE books to our participants to encourage families to read together!
Donate gently used or new children’s books today and support child development and family connection.
