Books will be collected until Monday, April 13.
 
Worcester State College will once again participate in the annual Worcester “Give A Book” drive.

The goal of the city-wide book drive is to collect K-8 level books for distribution by the Worcester Public Schools to children who don’t have the means to obtain adequate books for summer reading. A number of Consortium institutions participated last year and thousands of books were donated to local students!

We continue to have an overwhelming response from the college community each year -- so this year we are starting early. Please also spread the word to your friends, relatives and students.
 
Please bring new or gently used books (K-8 level) to the Public Relations & Marketing Office (Admin. Village Room 107).
