From gently used to greatly loved! It's amazing to think that these books, once sitting forgotten, will soon be in the hands of young readers who need them most.

Our Readers in Training team brings story time to life by hosting engaging playgroups for Nevada’s tiniest book lovers! This time, the adventure took us to Pahrump, where we welcomed 20 energetic little readers from 12 wonderful families. Together, we explored the world of Huck Runs Amuck by Sean Taylor, filling the room with laughter and imagination. After the story, the fun continued with a hands-on craft activity, giving our young readers a chance to unleash their creativity and take home their own little masterpiece. Seeing these little bookworms grow and explore through stories and play is always a joy. Until next time, happy reading! ???

Big wins for little readers! ?? Last week, we had some high rollers in the house. Huge thanks to the Bellagio and Park MGM for lending their hands (and hearts)! This incredible team helped clean and prep over 2,000 gently used books, giving young readers the chance to grow their home libraries and fuel their imaginations. That’s 2,000 opportunities to dream bigger, read farther, and believe in endless possibilities! ???

We are beyond grateful for our amazing sponsors! Your generosity makes a lasting impact, and we couldn’t do this without you. Thank you to the Las Vegas Rotary Club, MGM Resorts International, Play AGS, and The Eugene & Patricia Buckley Family Foundation for your kindness and support. Because of you, Nevada’s children in need have new opportunities and brighter futures.

Volunteer Appreciation Month is almost here, but who says we can't show a little love early?

Thank you for being a part of our story! ???? ??? Pictured here: Nevada State College CCMI Group RTC
