TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - The love of books and reading starts at a young age, which is why the Tallahassee Police Department is making an effort to reach out to young readers.
Wednesday, the police department office became not only a headquarters for local law enforcers, but the location of a book fair.
The book fair is a yearly fundraiser for TPD to raise money for Cops for Causes.
Cops for Causes is a group of TPD officers and employees who raise funds for different community outreach organizations, such as March for Dimes and Relay for Life.
"They call us in. A lot of times it's for Relay for Life or whatever they designate it for and they get a percentage of it. All our gifts and books and educational books and things for everybody is anywhere from 30 to 70 percent off retail," said Arthur Rines, a sales rep with Books Are Fun.
If you missed today's bookfair, no worries! It runs again tomorrow, from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.
