Since 2010, Polk County Reading Council (PCRC) members have been collecting books for the children and their caregivers. 

PCRC is currently partnering with Polk County Schools' Library Media Services to add new Little Free Libraries to our Polk County communities, as well as keep existing  Little Free Libraries well-stocked. 

PCRC has partnered with Polk County Schools' Books Bridge Mobile Classroom to help provide a free book monthly to enrolled participants. 

In 2014-2015, PCRC partnered with Chick-Fil-A (North and South Lakeland) to provide stories during their Family Nights. Many members visited a Chick-Fil-A location to read a story with children of all ages.

PCRC joined Habitat for Humanity to supply books for a families receiving one of the Habitat houses. Book cases and bookends were purchased to organize the books, making them more appealing and accessible. 

Thank you to all of our members who have participated by donating books, time, and talent.

Please plan to bring a new or gently used book to donate at each PCRC event. You will also have an opportunity at each meeting to make a donation toward setting up new Little Free Libraries in our communities.
