This national Links, Incorporated program established reading rooms in inner-city libraries across the country. Locally, the Minneapolis/St. Paul (MN) Chapter donated culturally-relevant books to Rondo Library (St. Paul) and Sumner Library (Minneapolis), and established reading rooms at local elementary schools and the Minneapolis site of the Jeremiah Program.
