Mainers in greater Portland might notice that there is a new message flashing atop the Time and Temperature Building - 'READ W- ME.' The Law Offices of Joe Bornstein is proud to dedicate the illuminated sign to promote literacy in Maine and the nonprofit organization, Maine Reads.
Kindergartners throughout Maine are receiving a brand new book to start the school year. The books are a gift from Read With ME., an official program of Maine Reads. Since 2000, Read With ME has donated books to more than 19,000 Maine students annually with the goal of improving literacy skills while making reading a fun and interactive experience.
