Little Free Library in Saguaro Canyon

Rotary LOCAL grants aren't just for schools. Paige Ballard, a teacher at Mica Mountain High school felt her neighborhood was underserved by Library locations, so with help from the Rincon Rotary, she opened her own in her front yard. She marketed it to the neighborhood and numerous members showed up to populate the Little Free Library during its dedication.

The Rincon Rotary's support is part of its Rotary LOCAL program, whose mission is to help improve the local community through educational outreach. Rotary LOCAL can provide manpower, resources from local business partners, or in some cases, direct financial support to teachers who apply for assistance. Rotary LOCAL is funded in part by our annual Taste of Chocolate event, a great way to sample local sweets and help teachers at the same time.
