WELCOME!
Books
to Bridge the Region is a
reading initiative encompassing seven Northwest Indiana
counties: Jasper, Lake, LaPorte, Newton, Porter, Pulaski and
Starke.

If you held an event during 2011 and your town is not circled, let us
know and we will add you!
Books to Bridge the Region again joined with the Northwest Indiana
Literacy
Coalition and its partners to deliver almost 450 "Lit Kits" to all
schools,
public and private, and all public libraries, in Lake, Porter, LaPorte,
Jasper,
Newton, Pulaski and Starke counties. Each kit contains one or more of
our
featured books, depending on the ages served by that organization.
