ABILENE, Texas — On Monday, Global Samaritan announced the opening of its 2022 Open Book Room, set for June 1.
According to Global Samaritan, the book room is sponsored by Atmos Energy and exists to provide free books - to read, return, keep and share - to anyone in the Big Country.
Visitors come with their families to read, shop, return books and volunteer. In 2021, more than 6,000 free books went to homes with readers who visited the Open Book Room.
Book access matters because we are facing a growing literacy crisis, the release from Global Samaritan said.
The book room will be open from 9 a.m. to noon Wednesdays, June 1-Aug. 10, at 2074 N. 1st St.
