Each year, the Mark O. Hatfield Library, Law Library, and the Willamette Store collaborates with the Salem-Keizer School District to identify one local public school, from a list of nominated schools, to be the recipient of the books collected that year.
The annual Tree of Giving takes place at the end of the fall semester. We invite the Willamette community to donate children's books (new and used books in good condition) to help promote literacy in the Salem area.
While you're shopping, why not pick out a book for this worthwhile cause?
Please drop off all items at one of the following locations between
November 13th - December 12th:
- Mark O. Hatfield Library
- Law Library
- Rick's Cafe
- Willamette Store
Get 10% off children's books at the Willamette Bookstore on titles bought at the Bookstore and donated there to the Tree of Giving.
The Teen Parent Program at Roberts High School is an alternative education program designed to offer a specialized curriculum and other services to meet the needs of young parents, including mothers who are pregnant and teens that are parenting. The program serves approximately 50 students and students have specialized onsite services available to them. Babies through age four come to school with the moms/dads for an onsite daycare and preschool.

Board books & picture books in Spanish and English |
Board books are easy for young children to grasp and turn pages to look at images as well as durable.
Picture books are usually read by adults and older siblings to young children. They have more content and are visually stimulating -- the images help tell the stories.
Young Adult books are geared towards ages 12 to 18 years of age. They tend to include more mature subject matter and language.
