Need To Read Book Club "Reading Chain" 2004 - 2008
Chapter 1: The Spartanburg Founding Chapter: @ Spartanburg Day School, S.C. 2004-2007
Chapter 2: The Boys & Girls Club of the Upstate: @ Carver Junior High School, Spartanburg, S.C. 2006-2007
Chapter 3: Anchor House: @ Spartanburg Children's Shelter, S.C. 2008
The above are the first pilot club chapters implemented by Need To Read Book Club. The inspiring story behind the growth of NTRBC is the "reading chain" that took hold and linked kids despite their soci-economic circumstance.
All Kids NEED TO READ! All Kids NEED TO SERVE!
NTRBC started in a private school. One of its "Reading for Others" service projects was to give books to a Boys & Girls Club.
The enthusiasm for reading & service was contagious.
The Boys & Girls Club wanted to be a part and NTRBC was happy to provide. Boys & Girls Club chose to give books to the Anchor House, a shelter for teen girls.
The enthusiasm took hold among these girls too, and another NTRBC chapter started. The Anchor House chapter chose another local Girls' Home as their service recipient and they were also inspired and have expressed interest in a club chapter.
