Elk’s Partnering with Library to Provide Suds & Stories

The Suzette Brumleve Memorial Effingham Public Library is excited to partner with Effingham Elk’s and Becker’s Wash and Dry on Thursday, March 5 for Suds & Stories – a chance for families to do laundry while enjoying a special story time.

Families can call the library at 217-342-2464 or register online at effinghamlibrary.org for a 6 or 7:30 p.m. laundry time.  10 families will be admitted for each laundry time.  Those families will receive $10 to use for laundry and laundry detergent.  

Suds & Stories is funded by the Elk National Foundation Community Investment Program through its’ Spotlight Grant.   Effingham Elk’s used this opportunity to shine a light on an important issue facing nearly every American community—family literacy.

Attending this event will give families a chance to do their laundry and every child who attends Suds & Stories will take a book home to enjoy.

Go online to effinghamlibrary.org or call 217-342-2464 x. 1 to register to attend this free event.
