Kahala shared this info with us, and we think it's a great thing for Hawaii's schools! First Book is a sponsoring a book contest that will award 50,000 books to the State with the most votes. As of today, Hawaii is in 1st place. It is really east to vote. All you have to do is visit the website ONCE a day, choose Hawaii, and click to vote. You don't have to fill in the other spots. Just go to the box that asks where you want 50,000 books to be sent, find Hawaii and click.From their website:
"What Book Got You Hooked?" invites readers everywhere to celebrate unforgettable books from childhood and help provide new books to the children who need them most. First Book asks visitors to share the memory of the books that made them readers and then vote for the state to receive 50,000 new books from First Book, helping to get more kids hooked on reading.
Past winners include Oklahoma in 2007 and Kentucky in 2008, with each state receiving 50,000 new books for children in need.
