October 12-16 Is "First Book Of Horry County Week" In North Myrtle Beach

During their September 21 meeting, the members of City Council issued a proclamation declaring October 12-16 to be First Book of Horry County Week in North Myrtle Beach.

First Book, through innovative approaches, tackles the single biggest obstacle to the development of literacy—access to books—and nationwide has provided more than 130 million books to children in need, increased access to needed materials for educators and administrators, and helped to elevate educational opportunities for the nation’s most disadvantaged youth.

Since 1998, First Book of Horry County has provided more than 50,000 books to children in the Grand Strand area. First Book also awards grants to local programs with a literacy component, providing a steady diet of books to children.
