Illinois Valley Sunrise Rotary Teams to Get 2000 Free Books to New Families

Illinois Valley Sunrise Rotary, in partnership with the North Central Regional Betterment Coalition, is providing 2,000 books to be distributed free by area pediatricians. The new books will be for families when they visit the doctor for both the infant’s 6-month checkup and their 1-year checkup. This expands an existing program which provides books and a reading advocacy pamphlet to new mothers when they are discharged from the hospital, and when they see the pediatrician for the 6-week well-baby exam.
