The Houston Leisure Facility has partnered with the Houston Link to Learning’s program, A Book Under Every Tree, to give people a free swim pass on Dec. 5 to Dec. 9 if they donate a book to the cause. You can only get a free pass if the book is donated to the Houston Leisure Facility. Jacob Silbernagel holds a full box of books that were donated at the pool. Last year, the Houston Link to Learning collected five full boxes of books that went under the Christmas tree of families in Houston to encourage and support family literacy. The Houston Link to Learning starts collecting books on Dec. 14, 2017, but has drop off bins at the Houston Public Library, the Houston Christian School, Silverthorne Elementary School, Twain Sullivan Elementary School, Countrywide Books and Stationery, Pharmasave, the Houston Salvation Army, Houston Community Services Association, and the Houston Link to Learning.
