Community Service Project – Books for Early Childhood Health Fairs

The Rutgers Special Education Clinic will be conducting two early childhood health fairs in April to improve awareness of early childhood development and early intervention programs. Organized by Rutgers law and social work students working at the Clinic, the students anticipate between 300 – 500 children and their families at each fair, and would like each child to leave with at least one book, in addition to other giveaways. The Clinic is now collecting donations of books, new or gently used, in English and Spanish, that are appropriate for children ages 0 – 5. This includes board books, early childhood readers and emergent reading books. NJLLA, in partnership with Rutgers, will collect books at the March 7 meeting. If you are unable to attend, please send a contribution with someone who is going or directly to Sue Lyons at Rutgers Law School Newark.
