The “Stories Of Us” Literacy Celebration will be held at the Boys & Girls Club, located at 400 Jefferson Street in Jonesboro, LA. The literacy program will begin at 4:00 pm with a special ribbon cutting of the new BOOK NOOK slated for 4:30 pm.

The BOOK NOOK will be located near the bridge on the playground beside the McDonald Recreation Center and will be filled with children’s books ages K-5 for all children to read and even take if they so choose.

This initiative was started by Ochsner LSU Health- Monroe and also sponsored by 21st Century Community Learning Centers and Boys & Girls Clubs of North LA.

“We are currently looking for a group of community leaders who will take on the project of restocking the Book Nook. Boys & Girls Clubs of Jonesboro will also help in the book restocking process,” said Janet Wilson, Director of Development for the North Central Region of the Boys & Girls Club.”
