Greater Springfield Chamber Hosts Children's Book Drive | Arts & Culture

From Springfield Chamber of Commerce:

Springfield, VA – The Greater Springfield Chamber’s Community Affairs Committee will host a Children’s Book Drive February 13 through April 6. Children’s books, for readers up to grade 6, will be collected at Chamber events and at area businesses for distribution to local elementary age students this spring.

“Every child should have books they call their own,” reminds Karen Brown, coordinator of the Chamber’s Book Drive. “I know our business community is ready to help.”

New and gently-used children’s books may be dropped off at participating locations through April 6. Chamber volunteers will pick-up collected books as donation boxes fill and prepare them for distribution to young residents in the Greater Springfield community. Book Drive hosts include:
