Donations of new or gently used books will be collected at Murphy Elementary School between March 14th and March 18th as a school project to help the Family Literacy Center.
Books collected during the drive will be donated to FLC. The Family Literacy Center is a local non-profit organization that helps adults learn or improve their reading and assists school-age children and their parents to improve reading and literacy.
“The books can be for children or adults, fiction or non-fiction, but should be in good condition. We are especially looking for children’s chapter books,” said Lisa Schultz, a parent volunteer who is coordinating the drive. “We invite the community to support this worthy cause and drop your spare books off at the Murphy Elementary school office during the week of March 14th to March 18th,” Schultz said.
