Contact: Theresa McMannus, 581-2441
The College of Education and Human Development, in collaboration with the University Bookstore and the Old Town-Orono Kiwanis Club, has begun accepting books for its annual children’s holiday book drive, now in its 33rd year. New books for toddlers through teens can be dropped off unwrapped at the office of college Dean Anne Pooler at 151 Shibles Hall or the Bookstore through Dec. 10. The Bookstore is offering a 20 percent discount on any children’s book purchased there as part of the drive. In addition, for every book purchased and donated, the Bookstore also will donate one. Kiwanis members will distribute the books to deserving community children and teens at the club’s annual holiday party for area children.
