The Rotary District 7090 Literacy Committee is promoting the Little Lending Library Challenge as part of it's Virtual Conference 2021.  Fonthill Rotarian Troy Killick has taken up the challenge on behalf of the Rotary Club of Fonthill!
 
Basic Education and Literacy is one of The Rotary Foundation’s Six Areas of Focus. We know that basic education and literacy are essential for reducing poverty, improving health, encouraging community and economic development, and promoting peace.
 
District 7090’s Literacy Committee is charged with assisting clubs within District 7090 to identify and promote literacy development in our local communities and the world community.
 
In 2020-21, the committee’s primary project is the LITTLE LENDING LIBRARIES (LLL) CHALLENGE
 
From the outset of this 2020-21 Rotary year, Governor Frank Adamson has been urging clubs in District 7090 to find ways to increase Rotary’s presence in their communities. One way to do this is for each club to invest a few dollars and some sweat equity to build and decorate at least one Rotary-branded little library for installation in its community. LLL's are weather-proof structures that make a small collection of books available 24/7 to children and families.
 
Take a book, leave a book, and spread the word that literacy is important for all.
