Literacy & Education RULE!
The Club promotes literacy and education through its unique program of building and distributing colorful, engaging "book arks" to elementary schools. What an awesome night at Our Lady of Mount Carmel School with the launch of their book ark. Shout out to Kiwanis Steve Everk for building the ark, Danielle and the Bridge of Books Foundation for stocking it!
Reading Is Our Superpower
Thurgood Marshall Elementary School students chanted "Reading Is Our Superpower" as Kiwanis of Asbury Park and Bridge or Books Foundation unveiled a Book Ark with 1,000+ books to the entire student body. Smiles and chills came across the teachers and adults in attendance as we realized how important reading and books are to these hungry youth. It was incredible.
Woodrow Wilson Book Ark
The Rotary Club got in on the book ark fun, launching one at Woodrow Wilson Elementary in Neptune with help from Kiwanis AP Club.
Books for Bradley Elementary
In cooperation with Bridge of Books Foundation, Kiwanis AP is committed to aggressively promoting literacy across the community. The book ark launched at Bradley Elementary School in Asbury Park is one example. Check out the Book Ark launch photo album and our news coverage by The Coaster.

Steve Everk, Immediate Past President, accepts Literary Champion Award from the Daughters of the American Revolution for building several book arks for elementary schools across Asbury Park.
