Quota International of Andover Establishes YWCA Library & Reading Program

Quota International of Andover, represented by members Sue Adams and Beth Poulo, both of Andover, recently donated more than 150 children’s books, valued at $1000, to the YWCA of Greater Lawrence’s child care programs. The books were funded through a direct gift from Quota International of Andover and a matching grant from Quota International, Inc.

Quota members will begin a reading program at the YWCA in the fall, volunteering in early childhood learning and after-school classrooms to read aloud with children enrolled in YWCA programs.

“Literacy is an essential part of a child’s ability to succeed in school and life,” said Lee Woodbury, Associate Executive Director at the YWCA. “Quota is making a real difference both by giving high-quality books that enliven a child’s reading experience and by donating their time as volunteers and role models. The children are reading already to show Quota members their progress this fall.”
