Every other Thursday of the month during theschool year, Kiwanis volunteers read to Pre-Kindergarten children at Lenoir CityElementary School. This project follows the Lending Library program held on thespecified Thursday morning.

 The children gather in classrooms and listento a book reading by a volunteer. The children are attentive and very often aquestion-and-answer session follows. This program helps to introduce youngchildren to the fascination of books.
