The cedar Book Nook is one of three book houses built and donated to Better Basics through a joint effort of the Trussville Daybreak Rotary Club and newly-formed Springville Rotary Club. Books are made available in the stand-alone boxes for readers to borrow at any time.
Better Basics is a nonprofit in Birmingham that strives to advance childhood literacy in reading and mathematics. A special project in Better Basics’ literacy arsenal is the installation and dedication of Book Nooks in under-resourced areas of the community. Once a Book Nook is placed in an area, Better Basics ensures a constant supply of books for birth through high-school-aged students is maintained in each Nook
The Trussville Rotary Daybreak Club meets at 7 a.m. on the first through fourth Wednesday mornings of each month at First Baptist Church Trussville (128 N.Chalkville Road).
