The new initiative puts books in beauty salons and barbershops to hopefully get kids reading. Here is the link to the City site describing the program: http://www.cityofrochester.gov/storytimewithstyle/
They also have info on the City's Facebook page: City of Rochester, NY - Mayor's Office

We have had a Free Book Box in Visions Barbershop and I had checked if the Beauty Shop next door wanted one. They said they were going to be doing a program with the city. This must be it.
