First Book Teams Up with Scholastic's ClassroomsCare Program in Canada
First Book/Le Premier Livre is proud to partner with Scholastic Book Clubs ClassroomsCare program, a philanthropy-based literacy campaign designed to teach children about the joys and importance of reading and giving. From January 1 through May 31, 2007, Canadian classrooms will read 100 books and in turn, Scholastic Book Clubs, a division of Scholastic, the global children's publishing and media company, will donate up to 100,000 new books to disadvantaged Canadian children through First Book and other charitable partners who ensure that the books are placed into the hands of the hardest to reach children. First Book/Le Premier Livre will receive the donations and will distribute the books to children in under-served communities across Canada.
