On Wednesday, Aug. 2, three local nonprofits, the Historic Owego Marketplace, Family Reading Partnership of Owego Apalachin, and The Floyd Hooker Foundation came together to provide free books to children in Tioga County. <\/p>\n

After an impressive tour of the Bright Red Bookmobile, Pat Hansen, president of HOM and Janelle Malia, secretary of HOM, presented Joan Hunt, volunteer board member and Amy Lessler, treasurer for the Family Reading Partnership of Owego Apalachin with a donation, made possible thanks to a grant awarded to HOM by the Floyd Hooker Foundation to provide events throughout the year for children.<\/p>\n

The donation by HOM will allow the Family Reading Partnership of Owego Apalachin to buy over 1,000 books for children in Tioga County. These books will be available to children during the Historic Owego Marketplace\u2019s 3rd Annual Halloween Fest planned for Oct. 27 from 5-9 p.m., and during Lights on the River, set for Dec. 1, from 5-9 p.m. in downtown Owego.<\/p>\n
