For the second year the Brown Alumni Association (BAA) is asking Brown University alumni and friends to participate in Bring a Book to Brown. The BAA will collect brand-new children's books before, during and for some weeks after Commencement, for distribution to the "Read to Me" program at Hasbro's Children's Hospital of Rhode Island.

"Read to Me" is a program in which volunteers read to children awaiting appointments at Hasbro's Pediatric Clinic; after the visit each child takes home a new book. Please keep in mind when selecting a book for this program that many of the children are bilingual and Spanish-speaking.

You may Bring a Book to Brown in a number of ways: Call the Brown Bookstore, 800 695-2050, to charge a book or order a gift certificate. The Bookstore is offering a 10% discount on books purchased for the program. Books may be brought to Maddock Alumni Center, 38 Brown Street or mailed directly to Bring a Book, Alumni Relations, Brown University,
Box 1859, 38 Brown Street, Providence, RI 02912.
