Now there’s even more time to help local students, as the library’s current school supply drive has been extended!
Due to popular demand, the Back-to-School Donation Station for school supplies in the library lobby has been extended through Saturday, July 12. Donated items will be distributed at the library’s back-to-school event in partnership with Brushwood Center on Saturday, July 26, from 10 a.m. to noon.
Suggested items for donation include backpacks, No. 2 pencils, pens, pencil pouches, erasers, colored pencils, crayons, washable markers, yellow highlighters, dry-erase markers, scissors, glue sticks, rulers, Post-it notes, index cards, loose-leaf notebook paper or notebooks (both college and wide-ruled), and folders.
Starting the school year with the necessary school supplies promotes student learning and boosts self-esteem. The Warren-Newport Public Library is committed to ensuring that all children have equal opportunities for success.
We appreciate your help on behalf of community students! Thank you for your participation.
