	Anyone who's been given a new book knows the special joy of reading. Since RIF began in 1966, RIF has given that experience to millions of kids across the country. These RIF kids have grown up to do great things. Some former RIF kids even work at RIF now!
We've caught up with alums from all over the country. Read what they're up to now, and check back each month for new featured interviews.
