The Nashwaaksis Lions Club in Fredericton has joined forces with the city’s three public libraries to promote reading.

The organization donated $3,000 worth of brand new books to children in Fredericton during the Read & Roar Book Giveaway Saturday.

Children who stopped by one of the city’s three public libraries were able to choose a brand new book to take home with them.

Richard Buchanan, a member of the Lions Club, says they wanted to do their part to help improve global literacy rates.

Buchanan says they were able to buy the roughly 600 books through fundraising efforts like a weekly radio bingo, bottle drives and ticket drives.

He says the organization will evaluate Saturday’s event, and may consider doing it on a regular basis in the future.

Youth in Transition Fredericton: http://yitfredericton.ca/

The number and proportion of young Canadians without adequate and secure housing has increased during the last two decade. Despite overall gains which have improved the lives of youth, youth between the ages of 16 and 19 who lack family support remains a group at risk of developing significant problems in their physical and mental health. Additionally, they are at risk of becoming homeless.

Youth In Transition addresses the needs of at-risk or homeless youth by offering supportive living arrangement in conjunction with a program aimed at increasing their self-esteem and independent living skills. Our residence, Chrysalis House, is a place where personal safety and accessibility to employment, education, and health care are met within a nurturing family-like setting. By modelling a stable home setting where each individual is treated with dignity and respect, Youth In Transition is attempting to reach some of New Brunswick’s lost youth.
