In the Fall of 2024, Kids Read Salt Lake began a distribution program within the seven Murray School District elementary schools. We personally placed select books into the hands of every child in grades K-6. It was such a huge success that it is now part of our permanent programs. For 2025-2026, we aim to do the same with six Granite Title One schools and 10 Salt Lake Title One schools, which will be over 7,000 books!
