JAR loves to gift books to young readers. Before school ended JAR was in the Lakeland school district and gave away over 300 books to students at Twin Lakes Elementary School, Athol Elementary, and several other Lakeland schools. Annie Winston and Alan Golub enthusiastically presented reading assemblies where Annie shared her passion for reading great books and her journey as an author. Alan Golub, philanthropist and generous sponsor of the free books and program, talked about his work as a Digital Artist and how reading helped him achieve his dreams. Students were thrilled and were given a reading challenge. Turn in a book report and receive a free ice cream cone from Super one and a raffle ticket to win a Coeur d Alene Lake Cruise. Congratulations to Milania Bell from Athol Elementary for winning the cruise and cruising with eight members of her family, thanks to Alan Golub.
