Mad Hatters Optimist Club promotes literacy

I saw this promotion for Tom Clancy's book Shadow Watch:

"This book has been released into the wild by the Mad Hatters Optimist Club of Las Cruces. PROMOTE LITERACY!! Let a child catch YOU reading!!"

I have no idea what it means for this book to be "released into the wild" by this Optimist Club, but I do know that reading is a good thing.  Helping children to discover the joy of reading is an even better thing.

The Mad Hatters Optimist Club of Las Cruces, NM has been involved in literacy programs since being chartered in 2007.  They have held book drives; they promote the Optimist International Essay Contest, and have a lot of fun celebrating Lewis Carroll's birthday, tea party and all. 

Adults, children and reading.  What a great mix.
