Waynesboro Police Officer Mark Kearney, joined Charlottesville Right Now on Tuesday, October 14th to discuss the Book Em Foundation. The non-profit group seeks to reduce crime rates by boosting literacy rates. They recently held their 3rd annual festival in Lebanon, New Hampshire.
Thanks for posting the interview. I like this idea a lot, literacy has everything to do with building a strong community of intelligent individuals. Helping more people read is a very positive way to decrease crime.
