May 30, 2024.  Nine dedicated Rotarians drove up to Lake Bluff, Illinois to inspect, sort and label hundreds of books at Bernie's Book Club. The fellowship at the Silo Restaurant afterwards was also rewarding to the volunteers.

 

Reading is the single most important skill a child needs — yet many lack access to books. Founded in 2009 by Brian Floriani to honor his father, Bernie’s Book Bank strives to make books accessible to all children. Since 2009 Bernie's has distributed millions of books to over 300,000 Chicago-area children.

 

Arlington Heights Rotarians were honored to participate in helping Bernie's Book Club towards its mission.
