[Book Donation Drive] Update and Rebuild Library for After School Program

Save to Favorites

LTSC's MiCASA After School Program is looking to revamp and update our library for all of the children who participate (K-High School). Our MiCASA Coordinator has put together a wish list (see below). We ask that only these books be donated at this time. If you choose to participate in this book drive, please respond to this post with the name of the book(s) you will be donating so we can take them off the list.

All books should be new or lightly used and can be dropped off or mailed to:
LTSC
