Alaska Little Free Libraries visited by TORC the CAT
Making a Difference, One Book at a Time! #SMILESwithTORC
TORC visited a total of 24 Little Free Libraries in Anchorage and its suburbs, where he donated 50 books. The first-time finders got a coloring book as a bonus to the matching TORC the CAT children's books.
TORC is a cat with a twist: in his dreams he becomes a detective who loves to explore the animal kingdom. He is a beautiful rescued tuxedo cat from Washington State with 2 book series.
TORC loves the Little Free Library book-sharing movement, because it plays an essential role by providing 24/7 access to books to famillies in areas where they are scarce. The more books in or near the home, the more likely a child will learn and love to read. But two out of three children living in poverty have no books to call their own.(Source: Little Free Library Org)
According to a 2018 report, 13,000 children in Alaska have at least one parent who is actively looking for work, and 10,000 children live in high poverty neighborhoods. 20 percent of Alaska's children lived in homes without enough food. Source: www.alaskasnewssource.com
