Book Club Donation

December 11, 2007

The holidays arrived early at Castano School in East Palo Alto with a gift of over 70 books donated to them by the Yale Road Book Club on Wednesday, December 5. The club’s eight members opted to donate books this year in lieu of buying holiday presents for each other.Gina Sudaria, vice principal of Castano, was thrilled when she was notified that the school had been selected to receive the books. She indicated that the school was having difficulty obtaining grants to purchase books. The books donated range from preschool to 4th grade with appeal to both boys and girls. “With our love of books and literature, we felt it fitting to share our passion this holiday season with children to encourage them to read,” said founding member Barbara Tyler. The Yale Road Book Club encourages other books clubs to consider donating to local schools.
