Free Books for CASA kids

The Colorado Springs book store, Hooked on Books supports CASA by donating $20 worth of books to each CASA child who visits the store with their advocate.

Mary Ciletti, store owner, established the special fund for CASA children in memory of her brother, Bob Francis who cared greatly for both books and children. Although "Uncle Bob" never had children of his own, he wanted to leave something for the children of the Pikes Peak region.

Since the fund was established Hooked on Books has donated over $5,000 to children served by CASA.

Visit Hooked on Books at 3918 Maizeland Road (at Maizeland & Academy in the Maizeland Moors Shopping Center).

CASA children receive up to $20 in free books and CASA volunteers receive a 10% discount for themselves.
