Dates Released For Two Free Book Giveaways For Kids At Downtown Farmers Market! (Photo) - 09/21/23

[Yakima, Washington] Since the start of this year's farmers market season, Educational Service District 105 has hosted two free book giveaways for students, handing out more than 3,000 books to attendees. Supported by the Innovative Approaches to Literacy Grant which has provided nearly $4 million in funding stretched over five years, these book giveaways represent one unique way ESD 105 is encouraging families to engage with young learners at home through the love of reading. 

ESD 105 plans to hand out more free books next week during school visits at the ESD 105 led STEM Building at this year's Central Washington State Fair and has also announced dates for two more FREE BOOK GIVEAWAY open to all community members this season. We have prepared up to 3,000 books for giveaway at each of these events, showcasing book titles intentionally selected by our team of certified educators to reflect the diversity and cultures of our region. Families with children are invited to join the ESD 105 this Sunday, September 24th and again on Sunday, October 22, 2023! We will have a booth at the Downtown Yakima Farmers Market open from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. each day.
