Clark County READS is an initiative of The Public Education
Foundation, in partnership with Clark
County, Clark County School District, and Las
Vegas Chamber of Commerce. The
support of our partners is most appreciated and is critical
to the success of Clark County READS.

Since the launch of Clark County READS in 2001, many
individuals, organizations, and corporations have donated
time and money to help us build a more literate community.
Major donors to our Library Enhancement Program have
included KLAS TV-8 and
the Community Pride Partners,
Wells Fargo,
and Ronald
McDonald House Charities. In
addition, we often receive donations and/or discounts
from the following book publishers: Follett
Library Resources,
Capstone Press, Compass
Point Books, Picture Window
Books,
and Houghton
Mifflin. Video
Las
Vegas Review Journal and the View
Neighborhood Newspapers generously donate ad space to help Clark County READS
recruit volunteers for our Reading Partner Program. A
special thank you also goes out to all of our reading
volunteers for the time and energy they give to our program!
A grant from the Department of Education, administered
through Reading Is Fundamental,
Inc., pays for 75% of
book costs for our Reading Is Fundamental book distribution
program. A generous grant from MGM
Mirage Voice Foundation covers the remaining book costs.
Though we are not able to mention all of our donors
and friends on this page, we do appreciate each and every
one of them. Every donation— no matter the size— helps
us in the fight against illiteracy.
