Milestone: Council donates funds for books

Published 11:45 am Wednesday, January 14, 2015

The Clallam County First Books Advisory Council has provided a $1,250 grant to First Step Family Support Center to give Clallam County children new books.

This gift will allow First Step to purchase over 500 new books to give to low-income families so that they can read to their children early and often. The books will be chosen to work with the Mind in the Making Project, which identifies certain children’s books as books that help children learn the seven essential life skills. Each of the books becomes property of the child it is given to.

Call First Step to speak to Amber or Nita if you want more information on how to receive these books for your children who are 0-6 years or if you want to donate.

For more information, call Maggie at First Step at 457-8355.
