CHARLESTON, Va. (AP) – Elementary school students in West Virginia will receive an array of free books this summer.

The state Department of Education is entering year two of the West Virginia Blue Ribbon Book Club, distributing 258,000 books to public school children entering Grades 1 through 3.

The books will be shipped by the end of the month. Teachers will also receive books to create lesson plans for the upcoming school year, the department said in a press release.

“This year we were able to expand the program to include our third graders, which means more books in the hands of our younger learners,” said Superintendent of Public Schools Clayton Burch.

The Book Club is a partnership between the department, the Marshall University June Harless Center and the Dollywood Foundation.

The department also included a list of famous readers on its website, including West Virginia men’s basketball coach Bob Huggins and National Champion Marshall’s men’s football coach Chris Grassie.
