Rx to Read

With a membership to the Rx to Read Program, Books Are GEMS provides 
new books to local physicians to hand out
to young patients with a "prescription to read."

Studies of similar programs show that parents are more likely to read to
young children if their doctors encourage it.  

Those children also score six (6) months ahead of their peers in literacy.

Together, the Rx to Read Program has given out over 30,000 books!
