Here Lily awaits her first reader at the Barnes & Noble Book Fair today as part of a fundraiser for the Conway Elementary School in Conway, Massachusetts. The bookstore donated a portion of the proceeds from each book sold during the fair to the elementary school.
Lily arrived with her book bag full of books from our Bright Spot Reading Buddy Book Series. Children were excited to read MEET LILY AND HER PALS. Each of Lily’s readers received one of her special Reading Buddy bookmarks to use while reading books at home.
The next Reading Buddy dog (also named Lili) arrived an hour later to take over for the first Lily. A student from Conway Elementary was quick to grab a chair in the special children’s reading corner and start reading. Reading Buddy dogs Oscar, then Max followed at hourly intervals throughout the day.
Bright Spot was pleased to be able to help the Conway School in this way. We hope they raised lots of funds for their educational programs.
