Volunteers can sign up to read at a campus of their choice or opt for no campus preference, according to the news release.
For those community members interested in getting involved in the district’s reading initiative but can’t participate in the March 1 event, the news release states they can donate a book to a library or classroom.
According to the news release, Northwest ISD librarians have composed a list of district-approved books that can be donated. Lists are available through each campus librarian.
