Room to Read's summer newsletter is now available online! It's packed with articles about the launch of their Room to Grow girls' scholarship program in Laos, a local lanuage publishing conference in Nepal, a panel on traditional African storytelling and Room to Read's plans for International Literacy Day, coming up September 8th. 
There's also a great article about the Better World Books/Room to Read partnership - from now till the end of the year, $5 from the sale of every Harry Potter
and the Deathly Hallows book on
www.BetterWorld.com will go to funding the
establishment of libraries in Nepal and Sri Lanka! Our goal is to raise $15,000 to construct 5 libraries, so if you haven't picked up a copy yet, click here to get one today!
