As Book 'Em North Carolina Writers Conference and Book Fair approaches fast, we'd like to thank the businesses and individuals who support our cause financially. Their donations allow us to provide t-shirts for volunteers, signs throughout the facilities, name badges, flyers, promotional activities and advertising. It ensures that money raised at the event itself is used entirely for literacy campaigns throughout Robeson County, North Carolina.
