Community Partners Show Reading is the Way Up

During the holiday season, City National Bank partnered with Barnes & Noble to share the joy of reading as part of the bookseller's annual Holiday Book Drive. All books collected through the drive at a participating Barnes & Noble location are matched by City National and donated to local schools. The Holiday Book Drive is part of City National Bank’s Reading is the Way Up program.
On Friday, Jan. 28, the University City Cluster schools received a generous donation of books from this year's Holiday Book Drive, sponsored by EdUCate, a nonprofit foundation established to support the five University City public schools. 
Barnes and Noble gave $7,250 worth of books to the schools.  City National Bank matched this amount by donating $7,250 that will allow schools to purchase more books.
