"I really believe this is a great program and it's something that's completely different because there's no price tag attached to it. We're not asking for purchase and it's allowing the youth to get their minds started and to think a little bit," said Huth.Families do not need to return the books to the store but Huth said if they chose to, it can offer children a lesson beyond the pages of the book."It allows them the opportunity to get their mind thinking and on the backside of that, they can donate that book back, which, at the end of that can be a lesson learned in itself about recycling and about what it is to give back to the community as well," Huff said.Free Book Friday starts July 21 and continues every Friday until Aug. 25.
