Earlier this summer, we shared books with Colony Square Apartments in Smyrna for their kids' #ReadingProgram—and it was a hit! Around 20 kids (plus parents!) joined in, discovering favorite stories along the way. Check out today’s photos of the books & their own little library!

Today, we’re highlighting @IngramContent. They recently held a book drive and donated 2,669 books to RTS! We’re thankful for this gift and know the profound impact it will have on children & families as they build their personal libraries. Ingram, thanks for your support!
