Books
The Learning Cafe, a refugee tutoring center located in Cathedral Square, is holding a book drive.

We need good books that encourage children and low level adult readers to read at home. The children speak English but most adults are at the beginning stages of learning English. 
​
An extensive list of books, divided into groups, can be found HERE.

Collection boxes will be located at the back of the church for 3 weeks, starting Saturday, June 2, 2018.
Questions? Contact Julia, 616-940-2745, julia_steinhardt@hotmail.com
