Description


On this West Virginia Morning, books are not always readily available for children everywhere in the U.S. An international volunteer group started in West Virginia makes sure all preschool kids get new picture books and learn a love of reading.





And a foodbank that serves 12 counties of West Virginia is struggling to meet a sharp increase in demand.





West Virginia Morning is a production of West Virginia Public Broadcasting, which is solely responsible for its content.





Support for our news bureaus comes from Shepherd University and Marshall University School of Journalism and Mass Communications.





Maria Young produced this episode.
