Granite United Way donors gave back on National Book Lovers Day by sharing stories with eager readers on the city’s West Side.
MANCHESTER, NH – Several New Hampshire executives who also happen to be donors and ambassadors for Granite United Way helped celebrate National Book Lover’s Day Aug. 9 by reading to children at the Granite United Way West Side Easter Seals location.
The national recognition encourages those who love to read to find their favorite reading place, a good book (whether it be fiction or non-fiction) and read the day away.
