The Power of Books

Literacy is more than just knowing how to read; in today’s world it’s the key to knowledge and to power. That’s why Washington Teachers Union Local 6 president Liz Davis and Metro Washington Council president Jos Williams gave away books to kids at Whittier Elementary School in the District last week. The event was sponsored by First Book, which each year distributes millions of free and low-cost books to disadvantaged children and the programs that serve them. Find out more at firstbook.org
