GoggleWorks is proud to participate in the Greater Reading Cops-'N-Kids
Child literacy Program. Starting Thursday May 1st, you can drop off new
of "gently used" children's books (pre-school through 4th grade) in a
designated box located in the Cohen Gallery on the 1st Floor.
The Cops 'n' Kids Children's Literacy Program is a non-profit
organization originally founded in November of 1997, by Julia Burney, a
police officer for the city of Racine, Wisconsin. The program's purpose
is simple: allow otherwise at-risk or financially constrained children
to enrich their minds through the power of reading by providing them
with the materials to do so. The program initially began with local
police officers distributing these books out of the trunks of their cars
to children in the community while on routine patrol.

I am Co-Chair of Berks for Obama, www.berksforobama.com, and currently working hard to register voters in advance of the March 24 deadline for voting in the Primary.
I've never run for anything before, and don't think I ever will again, but I would love to attend this historic convention in Denver, representing the 6th CD and Berks County, and I ask for your vote on April 22. Thank you!
We must also elect our three candidates for Superior Court. There is no excuse for ignorance on these races--all these candidates have informative websites, where you can read their resumes, their opionions, and newspaper articles about them. One candidate's spouse told me that 20% of Dems don't go on down the line and vote for their judge candidates, but that the Republicans always vote for their judges. These races are important--you can learn more about these candidates here:
