Reach Out and Read is a national non-profit early literacy program that provides books to children between the ages of 6 months to 5 years living at or near poverty through participating clinics, hospitals and doctor's offices.
Doctors participating in the program distribute developmentally and culturally appropriate books to patients and talk about the importance of reading with their parents.
Last year New Jersey doctors gave almost 50,000 kids books at 48 Reach Out and Read sites throughout the state.
A Reach Out and Read site in Long Branch received a donation of 1,000 books Monday to give to its young patients.
