Our high school library and book club are sponsoring a book drive for Christmas. Our goal is to collect via donations at least 600 books (used or new) so that each student in grades 6-12 goes home with a book for Christmas. Would you please consider participating in this book drive? If so, box up as many books as you are willing to donate and drop off at in the library. The book drive ends Monday, December 12. Books will be distributed to students on Thursday and Friday, December 15-16.
