23ABC celebrating National Reading Day by donating several hundred books to local children

23ABC is celebrating National Reading Day by donating several hundred books to local children. For the third year in a row, 23ABC employees have been donating portions of our paychecks to our parent company's "If You Give a Child a Book" campaign. Along with donations from our friends at Mission Family Mortuary, Kinder Pediatric, and the local Geico Office, we raised enough to buy several hundred books from Scholastic to give to our partner -- the Kern Literacy Council. We are celebrating National Reading Day with a big event at a local school where the children will get to meet a very special guest and go home with a book of their own.
