Vista Maria is located in Dearborn, MI. <br />Donations of gently used or brand new paperbacks in the girls’ favorite genres are always welcome! We need Young Adult Urban Fiction, Young Adult Paranormal Romance, Biographies, Self-Help Books and Young Adult Fiction. Donations must be appropriate for girls age 11 to 18 years. - See more at: http://www.vistamaria.org/get-involved/volunteer/reads-program/#sthash.TWTNiUMf.dpuf<br /><br />In addition to books, they also accept items for their girls in residence: toiletries, socks, coloring books, socks, etc. Items can be purchased online and shipped directly to Vista Maria, to the attention of Becky Hermann. <br /><br />If you're feeling charitable, I hope you'll join me in supporting the girls of Vista Maria!

In this program, adults are matched with students in schools in the U.S. Together, they read books and write letters to discuss them. It's a great way to get kids interested in reading. It also shows them how to discuss a book and how to write about it. www.in2books.epals.com<br />Suzanne R.
