Rotary and Amarok Partner with Mothers in Bangladesh

The Rotary Club of Dryden raised $36,000 through its Second Annual Xmas Promotion for schools in the urban slums of Bangladesh. These funds support our sponsored school, the Durbar-Shaikat Rotary Mothers’ School, and other similar schools in Bangladesh. Each school teaches 25 mothers in the morning, each of whom teaches five neighbourhood children at their home in the afternoon.

New Books for Sharing Box Installed in North Dryden

Are you looking for some summer reading? Our newest Books for Sharing box has just been installed in North Dryden at the Hatch Memorial Parkway at 199 Wice Road. This is our third book box in Dryden; the other two are at the Laura Howe Marsh and at Kinsmen Park, both on Van Horne Avenue.

The Books for Sharing boxes are a partnership between the Rotary Club of Dryden, the Friends of the Dryden Public Library, and the Dryden Public Library. The City of Dryden’s Public Works took care of the installation of all three boxes - many thanks to them for their assistance with this great project!

How does a Books for Sharing box work? It's pretty simple -- "Take. Read. Share. Return or replace only if you wish."

The Friends of the Dryden Public Library monitor the boxes on a regular basis and stock them with books from the Library's inventory of gently used reading material when necessary. There is usually an adequate supply of most books, however we are often in need of books for very young children (board books, easy read, primary). If you wish to donate children’s books, please send us a private message on Facebook to arrange for pickup.
