                   Help Mitchell School libraries get books

The Mitchell County Chamber of Commerce is urging you to support Mitchell County Elementary School libraries to get $35-thousand worth of books. A donor has given $5,500.00 to First Book, a 501 © 3 non-profit organization as matching funds for a program in NC serving children from low-income families. The math is pretty powerful: the program contributes $5,000, First Book Matches with another $5,000, and the program gets to spend $10,000 on the First Book Marketplace (www.fbmarketplace.org). Paperback books on the First Book Marketplace sell for an average price of $2.00 and have a retail value of more than $7.00 – meaning that $10,000 would purchase 5,000 books with a retail value of more than $35,000. In short, a program putting up $5,000 would get $35,000 worth of books for their kids. If you or your organization can help, contact Dr. Dan Barron, director of the Avery, Mitchell, and Yancey Regional System. Call the system office in Burnsville at 682-4476 or the Spruce Pine Library at 765-4673 for more information. Remember your gift would be tax deductible.
