Kids Need to Read depends on its volunteers! Not only do they work hard but they know how to have the most fun! Thanks to our friends at Bookmans, we were able to give our deserving volunteers and supporters a holiday party filled with Ninja shenanigans, a Geek ornament exchange, and boisterous jollification!
