The York County Literacy Council (YCLC) once again sponsored the annual Buck A Book® Reading Program.

Buck A Book® Week is York County Literacy Council’s most rewarding fundraiser as it promotes and rewards reading, brings awareness to illiteracy in our county and provides an opportunity for school children to become involved in helping others. This year Buck A Book® Reading Week was Jan. 19th to 25th. During this week children from all over York County read and recruited sponsors to help raise money for the York County Literacy Council.
