Ryan's Reading Tree
The Library Foundation and the friends and family of Ryan Dickerson are embarking on a special fundraising campaign to place a beautiful tree in the Modesto Children's Library in Ryan's memory. An avid reader, Ryan loved the library. He died suddenly last summer at the age of 18. This tree, a lasting tribute to Ryan, will create a magical place for children to explore the wonders of books and reading. To learn more about how you can help, please visit www.ryanstree.com
