From Capital FM: http://www.capitalfm.ca/local-news/2015/01/11/nashwaaksis-lions-club-donates-600-books-to-fredericton-children

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.
