Event Details

Bee-There for a Reader this May! Bee-lieve it or not, sometimes dogs really do eat library books and homework! Help a child out and pay-it-forward for a young reader with replacement book fees. Pick a tag from our reader tree and choose how much you'd like to donate. At the end of the month, children participating in this program will receive a letter from RIPL, announcing the good news of their restored library account all thanks to an anonymous fellow library user's gift. Patrons may make donations at the Downtown Library, Southwest Branch, and Watts Midtown Branch.

This program benefits young readers ages 6-17, and supports lost book amnesty.
