"Read" It Forward Book Drive
In the spirit of our school's "Pay It Forward" initiative, Ava A. (7th grade) and our Lutz Prep Library will be hosting a book drive. Please bring new or gently used books to the Media Center to donate to the Sullivan Partnership/Metropolitan Ministries. The books may be for Toddlers through Middle School levels (no adult level books, please). We will begin the book drive on Wednesday, January 16th and end on Friday, March 8th. We will collect, sort and deliver the books before Spring Break so all the area children will have some great reading during their time away from school.
Update on Donations Drive: 816 new leveled early readers & 282 gently used books that have been donated in the last two weeks. The grand total is 1,098 books, with several weeks to still collect.
Please take this time to do a little book "Spring Cleaning" and "Read" It Forward! Presented by: Ava A. and Mrs. O'Sullivan, Library Coordinator
