Rim Country Literacy Annual Book Sale was held on Saturday, October 17, 2009. Piles of gently used books of every description and topic have been pouring into our local office for the past 12 months in anticipation of Saturday's event. The funds raised are used to further Rim Literacy's outreach to the citizens of Payson who would benefit from tapping into the great wealth of knowledge and experience our volunteers freely share. 
Two of our current prograns include tutoring for GED and one-on-one help in learning English as a second language. We are currently helping students with Tonga, Russian, Italian, German, Korean, and Spanish. Quite a diverse collection of needs for a small town of only 15,000 fine, upstanding citizens. Literacy also has an outreach program in the local elementary schools for story telling. The youngsters have a lot of fun listening to our volunteers sharing stories of great adventure in the big, big world they don't yet know.
So if you have a few books to donate to a worthy cause, we'll have another one next year. Always held in the Wal-Mart parking lot on Hwy. 87 on a Saturday morning in the middle of October. Come and select as many books as you can carry away and simply make a donation of any amount. Read them and we'll take them back as a donation next year and recycle them back into our community
