The Metro East Literacy Project (MELP) is raising money to help build avid, lifelong readers in the St. Louis Metropolitan area. In some sections of our population, there is a serious reading crisis, and MELP is looking to raise awareness and create opportunities to help improve reading skills within the community.
Let’s fill up the virtual Metro East Literacy Project Bookshelf with your book titles. Show how much you enjoy reading by listing your favorite books with your generous donation!
