Local Postal Annex + Recognizes Children's Book Week

Woodland Hills area shipping business invites residents to drop off books

Woodland Hills, CA (Grassroots Newswire) November 8, 2007 -- In today's day and age when the Internet and TV dominate, the joys and benefits of reading are often undervalued. To revive the importance of reading and children's literacy, Postal Annex + of Woodland Hills is celebrating Children's Book Week, held November 12 -18, by serving as a drop-off location for children's books, which then will be donated to schools, libraries, day care facilities and children's hospitals in the area.

According to the Educational Testing Service, the more types of reading materials there are in the home, the higher students are in reading proficiency.

"Reading enables a child to open up their imagination and encounter a world they normally don't get to experience. Not only that, but reading increases the likelihood of a child doing well in school. We are so excited to be able to help the children in our local community," said Edwin Akhavan, owner of Postal Annex + of Woodland Hills, located at 21781 Ventura Blvd..

Children's Book Week, recognized since 1919, is reserved for young people to exercise their imaginations and discover the world through books. Children's books and the love of reading are celebrated with events across the country. Akhavan and Postal Annex + encourage other businesses and organizations to support children's literacy and reading by recognizing Children's Book Week.

"Whether children are reading at home or in school, it's contributing to a brighter future," Akhavan said. "We hope this initiative will get books to those children that need them the most and support literacy-rich environments."

Headquartered in San Diego, Postal Annex + is a one-stop support center for homemakers with business needs, students, and small and large businesses. You can visit the Woodland Hills Postal Annex’s website at www.postalannex5012.com
