Confluence Books raises dollars for dictionaries

September Buck-a-Book sales at the Carbondale Farmers Market supported the distribution of dictionaries to third-graders in the area.

The Rotary Club of Carbondale Breakfast provides a student dictionary to every third-grade student in our local schools, part of a nationwide effort through dictionaryproject.org. Current RCCB president Sarah Van Vooren said, “The joy and excitement from students when they receive their very own dictionary is a highlight of our service activities.”

Confluence Books has tables at the Farmers Market most Saturdays, selling a variety of books for a dollar each, with all proceeds going to a local charity.
