(Neosho, MO) – Crowder College Adult Education and Literacy (AEL) is excited to announce its upcoming children’s book drive, aimed at fostering literacy in young minds. This Love of Literacy initiative invites the community to contribute new, or gently used, children’s books for ages newborn to seven.
The collected books will be distributed during a Love of Literacy public event scheduled for Thursday, February 15, 2024, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm at the Wright Conference Center on the Neosho Crowder College Campus in partnership with Head Start and Early Head Start, Crowder College Lee Library, and Newton County Libraries. In addition to book distribution the Love of Literacy event will include crafts for children, snacks, prizes, and a reading corner.
In addition to the public event, AEL will extend the reach of these literary treasures to all AEL and English Language Learner students, at our many class sites, who are parents, grandparents, or those with siblings eager to share the joy of reading.
Donations can be conveniently dropped off at the front desks of Crowder College – Neosho (Farber Hall), Crowder College – Cassville, Crowder College – McDonald County, or Crowder College – Joplin Advanced Training and Technology Center. Additionally, collection points are available at various class site locations, including Aurora, Mount Vernon, Monett, Cassville, Neosho, Noel, and Joplin Refugee and Immigrant Services and Education (RAISE).
