Kids Need to Read spent the two weekends before Christmas in the beautiful courtyard outside Barnes & Noble Dana Park in Mesa, Arizona wrapping presents for donations. Folks who bought presents inside the store stopped to have them wrapped on the way out. Some even brought bundles from their car or home to have our volunteer elves wrap them up pretty in holiday paper supplied by the store. Inside, the Barnes & Noble holiday book drive benefiting KNTR was going strong through New Years Eve.
