It\u2019s time for the bi-annual Reading is FUNdamental Book Give-away, which is sponsored by the Stamford Public Education Foundation (SPEF), Reading is Fundamental and The Ferguson Library.\r\n\r\nThanks to a partnership with \u201cReading is Fundamental\u201d and its <em>Be Book Smart<\/em> fundraising campaign, SPEF has served hundreds of children and given away thousands of books over the past two years at its semiannual book giveaways held at The Ferguson Library\u2019s main branch every spring and fall. As part of its literacy initiatives, for the second consecutive year, SPEF will also coordinate eight summer book giveaways in partnership with The Ferguson Library at local community centers to help curb summer reading loss.\r\n\r\nThis year, through the <em>Be Book Smart<\/em> campaign, SPEF received over 4,000 books to improve literacy in Stamford&#8217;s underserved communities. The <em>Be Book Smart<\/em> campaign is a collaboration between RIF and Macy\u2019s. Now in its eleventh year, <em>Be Book Smart<\/em> has provided more than ten million books across the U.S. for children in need. It raised more than $2.6 million last summer, totaling $32 million over the course of the partnership. The <em>Be Book Smart<\/em> campaign will be taking place again this summer for approximately four weeks during the months of June and July, and RIF and Macy\u2019s are looking forward to the continued support of Macy&#8217;s customers.\r\n\r\n[one_third]<a class=\"dt-single-image\" href=\"http:\/\/spefct.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Newsroom_news_releases7b.jpg\" data-dt-img-description=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-477\" src=\"http:\/\/spefct.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Newsroom_news_releases7b-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Newsroom_news_releases7b\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spefct.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Newsroom_news_releases7b-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/spefct.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Newsroom_news_releases7b.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>[\/one_third][one_third]<a class=\"dt-single-image\" href=\"http:\/\/spefct.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Newsroom_news_releases7c.jpg\" data-dt-img-description=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-478\" src=\"http:\/\/spefct.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Newsroom_news_releases7c-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"Newsroom_news_releases7c\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spefct.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Newsroom_news_releases7c-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/spefct.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Newsroom_news_releases7c.jpg 598w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/a>[\/one_third][one_third_last]<strong><a class=\"dt-single-image\" href=\"http:\/\/spefct.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Newsroom_news_releases7a.jpg\" data-dt-img-description=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-476 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/spefct.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Newsroom_news_releases7a-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"Newsroom_news_releases7a\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spefct.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Newsroom_news_releases7a-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/spefct.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Newsroom_news_releases7a.jpg 598w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/a><\/strong>[\/one_third_last]","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>STAMFORD, CT \u2013 17 de abril de 2015 \u2013 El s\u00e1bado 18 de abril, los ni\u00f1os de los grados K a 5 acudir\u00e1n al tercer piso de la Biblioteca Ferguson (One Public Library Plaza, Stamford, CT) entre las 2:00 y las 3:30 PM. para seleccionar un libro gratis, escuchar lectores invitados, registrarse para obtener una tarjeta de la biblioteca, disfrutar de las artes...<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":475,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21,20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-474","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-releases","category-newsroom","category-21","category-20","description-off"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spefct.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/474","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spefct.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spefct.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spefct.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spefct.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=474"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/spefct.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/474\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":481,"href":"https:\/\/spefct.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/474\/revisions\/481"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spefct.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/475"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spefct.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=474"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spefct.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=474"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spefct.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=474"}],"curies":[{"name":"gracias","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
