Spreading the Joy of Reading: NBC 26’s Book Drive Delivers for Local Students
Green Bay, WI – The magic of storytelling is coming alive for children at Lincoln Elementary School thanks to a community-driven effort by NBC 26 and generous local donations. This year’s "If You Give a Child a Book" campaign, specifically designed to put brand-new books into the hands of eager young readers, is poised to make a significant impact. “Every child deserves the opportunity to fall in love with reading,” affirms NBC 26, highlighting the campaign’s core mission.
Since August, viewers across Green Bay have rallied together, contributing funds to purchase books for children in need. Multiplying these donations is a substantial $2,000 gift from TDS Telecom, which will bring an additional 300 books to the shelves at Lincoln Elementary.
“That contribution will fund the purchase of 300 more books for children in our community,” states NBC 26, emphasizing the tremendous impact of TDS Telecom’s support.
Each $6 donation translates directly into a brand-new Scholastic book for a child, ensuring accessibility to captivating stories and fostering a love of learning. As NBC 26 aptly puts it, “Together, we can help young readers discover the magic of books and inspire a lifelong love of learning.”
The Scripps Howard Fund also plays a vital role in this initiative, helping ensure every child at Lincoln Elementary receives a free book thanks to the generosity of the community.
The campaign is ongoing, and NBC 26 invites everyone to participate in this inspiring endeavor.
