Rutherford Mall is distributing brown bags in the September 3rd Nanaimo Bulletin. If you take the bag full of books to the mall from September 3rd to 13th they will give you a free scratch card that could bag you a million dollars. Extra bags are available at Centre Court where we will have an information table set up. All of the books are donated to the Literacy Central VI bookstore.

We're running a contest with some of the larger offices in town. Individuals accumulate points for the number of items they read in a day. There will be prizes for individuals and a trophy for the office with the highest average per person.

We received permission from the City to hold a tag day on September 12th,to celebrate International Literacy Day. There will be volunteers strategically located around Nanaimo with boxes and cans clearly labelled "We Need To Read!". Please be generous.

There will be an information table set up in Woodgrove Centre Friday and Saturday, September 11th and 12th. Volunteers will be available to answer questions about the volunteer tutor program.
