      <image:title>News - McIntyre’s Books: A Champion for Young Readers - While the March Book Madness competition has ended, the need for books continues year-round. Besides McIntyre’s, there are numerous Children's Book Donation Box locations across Chatham County, making it easy for families to pass along gently used children's books as they run errands. Have an appointment at Avance Primary Care? Drop off books there. Taking your child to Chatham Pediatric Dentistry? They have a donation box. Picking up a prescription—or ice cream—at 501 Pharmacy? Yep, they have one too. Once collected, Chatham Reads redistributes, on average, 800 books a month (hundreds more during the summer months!) to local children through schools, community organizations, CORA pantries, summer feeding sites, Little Free Libraries, and literacy programs. The goal is simple: make sure every child in Chatham County has access to books of their own.</image:title>

      <image:title>News - Lendy Carias Goldston: Opening Doors Through Books - As a Little Library steward for Chatham Reads, Lendy Carias Goldston does much more than restock books.</image:title>
      <image:caption>She keeps the Little Free Library at a neighborhood park in Siler City filled with books, checks on it regularly, and looks for creative ways to keep kids engaged in reading. This summer she’s hosting free weekly read-alouds at the park she helped restore with community volunteers. For the first storytime, Lendy dressed as Little Red Riding Hood while a participant’s husky stole the show as the Big Bad Wolf. Her goal is to create a fun, welcoming place where children—many of whom don’t have access to camps, summer school, or books during the summer—can enjoy stories and take books home to keep. Lendy is also helping Chatham Reads distribute free books at one of CORA’s SNACK! summer meal sites, where every child can choose a book to take home and keep.</image:caption>
