How it’s done:
1. Come to HFRC Arnot Mall Location on December 16th to select a FREE gently used book.
2. Wrap it at HFRC and go home with it ready to go!
A gift, carefully wrapped, holds the mystery of what story or adventure is waiting to be discovered, and presents the book as the special gift it is!
3. Place the book at the foot of a child’s bed on the eve of your holiday. It will be the first thing they see on Christmas morning, the first day of Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or any holiday you celebrate!
A Book On Every Bed is a holiday tradition that every child will look forward to year after year, as his brain, body, and library of books grows!
Increases book value: A beautifully wrapped book, carefully selected for a child, is a way for parents to promote the value of books and foster a lifelong love of reading.
Deepens the relationship with books: Book ownership allows a child to return again and again to a cherished story, alone, or with a loved one.
Fosters learning: When you give a book, you also give the promise of reading aloud together, frequently and pleasurably, which is a proven model for language acquisition and literacy.
Continue the tradition throughout the year: Any special day like a birthday, graduation, or last day of school could also be A Book On Every Bed Day!
