Summer Reading for WITS Students

As the school year comes to an end, the Library of the United States Courts for the Seventh Circuit ran a book drive for students in WITS' programs.

All 2,300 WITS students receive at least two brand-new, hardcover books to take home and add to their personal library at various points throughout the year.  WITS' program coordinators distribute books to students at the end of the school year and promote at-home summer reading.

WITS is incredibly grateful for book drives that benefit our students.  The kids are not only excited about receiving an end of the school year gift for all of their hard work, but also genuinely excited to read their very own book.  A great big thank you to theLibrary for the United States Courts of the Seventh Circuit!
