Carol Anne Ruscica recently joined First Book/Le Premier Livre as Executive Director. Before joining First Book, she spent more than a decade working in marketing and fundraising for organizations in social service, healthcare and education across Ontario. An avid reader herself, Carol Anne is excited by the challenge of building the First Book National Book Bank and the First Book Marketplace for Canadian programs to reach children who need access to books the most.
With the help of community partners, volunteers, Pi Beta Phi, and the continued financial support of TD Bank Financial Group, FB/LPL aims to distribute 100,000 books over the next year to children across Canada. FB/LPL offices will continue to be based in Toronto, where you can meet Carol Anne at The Word on the Street Festival on Sunday, September 27 at Queens Park. Look for the Toronto Blue Jays – Jays on the Road community vehicle right next to our booth. The first 250 visitors to FB/LPL will receive copies of the Jays’ Freddy and the Blue Jays children’s book. And, stop by to learn how to register your program to receive books.
