The Delaware Readiness Teams have partnered with Hindi's Libraries to promote literacy and provide children of all ages with a book they can call their own.

The DRT participated in a coat and resource distribution event at the Dover Public Library, sponsored by the United Way of Delaware, where close to 200 books supplied by Hindi’s Libraries were distributed to families in attendance.

Hindi’s Libraries collects books through private donations and then shares them with qualifying partners for distribution. For more information about Hindi’s Libraries see:
