Did you know September is National Literacy Month??
The Learning Resource Center system will be holding a book drive throughout the months of September and October to support National Literacy Month. All LRCs will be accepting donations of gently used adult and children’s books. Following the book drive, general donations will be made to The Julian Center and Operation Paperback. Some LRC’s will also be making donations to local charities in their area. For specific information on where your donations are going, please see the information below and speak with your campus librarian. We hope you will join us in supporting National Literacy Month!
