Central Church of the Brethren (Roanoke) gave 2,560 books to 640 students in two neighborhood elementary schools, Lincoln Terrace and Hurt Park. Each child received four books.
Members of the congregation and their friends read books to the 43 classes in the two schools and presented the students in Pre-K to 5th grade their books, along with decorated gift bags.
