alliedFCU Stocks Little Libraries with New Books in Celebration of Read Across America Day

April 3, 2024

Allied Federal Credit Union celebrated Read Across America Day this year by donating books to little libraries across the Arlington and Mansfield communities. Little libraries are collections of books usually located in some type of display outside homes or gathering places. As people pass by, they are free to browse the collection and take a book and can even add a book. The Credit Union purchased the books using funds from its Casual for a Cause initiative.

“Little libraries are a small and powerful example of good things happening in our communities. They are are stress-free zones where people can pick up and drop off books without any barriers or limitations,” said Sarah Ramos, AVP of Experience at AlliedFCU. “Little libraries also strengthen connections between people in the communities we serve. We are proud to donate books to these tiny reading centers, making reading and connections both easy and fun for so many people in the area.”

Casual for a Cause allows AlliedFCU employees to dress down at work in exchange for donations to various local causes each month. An employee committee chooses each cause, and they selected little libraries to make reading more accessible to young people in the area.
