LITERACY
The Pittsburg Arts and Community Foundation (PACF) is committed to supporting literacy for readers of all ages. PACF operates the Railroad Book Depot, a retail bookstore located at 485 Railroad Avenue, and partners with the Pittsburg Library to enhance programs that encourage a love of reading.
Last year alone, PACF distributed over 3,150 free books to seniors, students, teachers, and local nonprofit organizations.
​
Throughout the year, PACF provides free books during community events such as Green Footprint Day, the Car Show, Halloween Festivities, and the Holiday Parade. For many children, these books are the very first they can truly call their own.
​
PACF also supports Pittsburg Reads, a summer reading initiative that helps keep kids engaged with books over the break. In addition, we champion local authors, book clubs, poetry groups, and others who help share the power and importance of reading in our community.
