Thousands of books could be given away to children in Benton Harbor this summer thanks to a program the public school district is considering. Benton Harbor Area Schools Interim Superintendent Patricia Robinson tells WSJM News Title 1 funds could be put toward the summer book giveaway.

“Free books for students who come to the parks or apartment complexes during the summer lunch program,” Robinson said. “We’re just giving away all sorts of books to students in grades K through 1, and they’re brand new.”

The board of education will consider the idea next week. Robinson tells us the giveaway would happen on multiple dates at multiple locations, which will be determined by support staff and the administration.
