The Athletes for Literacy Initiative encourages youth to read books for a chance to win signed sports memorabilia such as an official National Hockey League puck, hockey sticks, ball gloves, a hockey player card, posters, jerseys, etc. Police visit junior hockey teams to speak about the importance of reading and visit public libraries with sports personalities.

The following companies and individuals have graciously donated their time, energy, and resources to the ongoing success of the Adopt A Library Literacy Program. They have wisely recognized that by supporting this literacy initiative and investing in our children now, we will all reap the future rewards of reduced crime, increased productivity, and a higher standard of living.
