As part of the agency’s continued
focus on building up the next generation, United Way of Greater Niagara has installed Little Free
Libraries across the Greater Niagara Region. The large scale
community project was made possible through the support and
partnership of many local agencies and volunteers.
Free book boxes are now available at Youth Mentoring Services of Niagara County Inc., 86 Park Ave, Lockport, NY 14094; Boys & Girls Clubs of the Northtowns’ Newman Family Clubhouse, 325 Franklin St, Tonawanda, NY 14150; Niagara Falls Boys &
Girls Club, 725 17th St, Niagara Falls, NY 14301; and at the
United Way of Greater Niagara office, 6420 Inducon Drive
West, Suite B2, Sanborn, NY 14132.
New children’s books to fill the new boxes were
donated by the Worldwide Philanthropic Literature Organization
and local publishing house ImagineWe Publishers.
UAW Local 686 members helped with the installation of the new boxes
in Lockport and the City of Tonawanda.
“Literacy skills are absolutely crucial for the success of our kids.
Reading skills are the foundation for learning in all subject areas
in school and beyond,” said William Briggs, Marketing &
Business Development Associate. “Communication skills,
problem solving, and critical thinking all get stronger when kids
have the power to take learning into their own hands.”
