6abc/Disney’s book give away is nothing short of magical

COMMUNITY
Written By Simone Partridge

Thanks to 6abc/Disney ‘Magic of Storytelling' campaign, 5,000 free new books made their way into our local community. 15 of our partners received books for their organizations and community through a contactless book drop event. To everyone involved, we say thank you!

 

“These books are going straight to the hands of families. My motto is a house without books is like a house without windows.”


– Dorian Harris
