The Elko County Reading Council (ECRC) is a local organization whose mission is to promote literacy in the communities in which we live and work.
Membership opens the door to collaborative projects, networking, grant opportunities, family engagement, professional development, and community involvement.
Book Tree
It's that time of year! Please help us provide books to school children. Visit any Mudd Hutt location, and choose a student off the Christmas tree. Buy a book from the list in and return it to any Mudd Hutt no later than December 14, 2024. We would greatly appreciate your generosity. Give the gift of reading!
