The Pinson Public Library in Alabama is a brand-new facility in a rural area that opened last year with 1,600 materials, a third of which were donated. With a small budget and high circulation, this library will put the 25 cartons of Bookapalooza materials to great use. By collaborating with the local schools’ annual reading contests, the Bookapalooza materials will encourage children to read and write book reviews for the school and library websites. The materials will also be used with another ongoing program with the Hand in Paw Organization, Reading with Rufus, where children will strengthen their verbal and reading skills by reading aloud to Rufus the dog.
