Over the past week, the Houston branch and the Sugar Land branch teamed up to donate 1082 books to Books Between Kids, a non profit organization that provides books for at-risk children.
Trent Hale, the program coordinator, had this to say:
“It was great to have you all by the warehouse today. Our volunteers were able to make a count of all the books you brought, and I am pleased to tell you that you all were able to collect 1,082 books!!
Please extend our gratitude and “job well done” to all of the students for their hard work on this book drive and their support in our mission to build home libraries for Houston children.”
Branch members Emily Wang, Lauren Wang, Jonathan Liu, and Flora Hu have worked hard over the past few months to collect and organize the books, and hope that their contributions will help children grow up to have a brighter future.
