In our newest project, Literacy & More, Junior Auxiliary members will
lead weekly book clubs in area schools. While the cornerstone of this
project is the book clubs, the project is about much more than just
reading. This project provides an oppurtunity for JA members to meet with 5
underserved students on a weekly basis during students' lunch time at
school. While eating lunch and discussing books, JA members will be
opening doors for mentoring, friendships, and a love for reading. This
project also provides a venue for JA to support the community through
funding and scholarships related to literature and the arts. This will
include funding to the Jonesboro Public Library for community programs or
author visits, sending students to see a community play, or funding of
various touring groups.
