Summer reading participants read for a good cause with the Read for Compassion program! They tracked their hours read from June 1 through August 15 and earned meals for youth through HomePlate Youth Services.

For every 750 hours read collectively, the New Friends of the Beaverton City Library donated a week’s worth of hot meals for a youth experiencing housing instability – for a total of 20 weeks’ worth of meals.
