Wylie Rotary volunteers held a "Packing Party” for District 5810 Book Brigade to help us recycle books and fight illiteracy both locally and internationally.
The service project works in partnership with Carnival Cruise Lines to bring books to Merida, Mexico. Hosted by Wylie Rotary President (and Library Director!) Ofilia Barrera, several Rotarians spent a couple hours packing 12 boxes full of books to be sent to school children living in Mexico. The boxes were then weighed, labeled, and ready to be shipped to Mexico. The District goal was 25,000 books. Wylie East Fork has sent over 1,000 books!
