Preschool–age children who attend the Falls Church-McLean Children’s Center chose a book to take home and keep when the New Dominion Women’s Club of McLean distributed books at the school earlier this month.

The free books were made possible by the Reading is Fundamental program with a grant from Macy’s Be Book Smart campaign.

Christy Murray, a member of New Dominion Women’s Club, is the club Reading is Fundamental liaison to the Children’s Center. NDWC sought and received the Macy’s grant of $25,500 to purchase books for the Children’s Center and 11 others of the 55 RIF programs throughout Northern Virginia that the group supports each year by offering free books for children to take home.
