A Kensington elementary school is getting a gift of a library and computers from Comcast Cable Corp. and the mentoring organization Big Brothers, Big Sisters.
Comcast volunteers, working as big brothers and big sisters at the Fairhill Elementary School in Kensington (above), noticed one day that the school's library was empty -- no books, no computers.
So now, the school is receiving 1,700 books and four computers for a new library and technology center at the school. Charisse Lillie is executive vice president for the Comcast Foundation:
"We know that reading books is the gateway to digital literacy. So the kids have to know how to read before they know how to use the computers. So it's important to us because it's our business."
