The Mark O. Hatfield Library, Law Library, and Willamette's Family Law and Child Advocacy Association are collaborating with the Salem-Keizer School District for the annual Children's Winter Book Drive.
The book drive takes place at the end of the fall semester, and 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 out shopping, why not pick out a book for this worthwhile cause? Or consider donating gently used children's books from home.
Please drop off all items at one of the following locations between
November 10th - December 19th:
- Mark O. Hatfield Library
- J. W. Long Law Library
