Book drive ongoing
Owens Community College’s Environmental Club and Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society are reaching out to individuals throughout the world by giving new life to thousands of books destined for Dumpsters or destruction. The initiative, titled “Book Drives for Better Lives,” is part of an ongoing campus- and community-wide book collection program intended to help needy non-profit programs and organizations through literacy.

Since establishing the collection drive program in June 2006, the two student organizations have received more than 50,000 books donated by Owens employees and students, as well as community members.

Most recently, the student groups collected over 3,500 books, which will eventually end up in the hands of underprivileged individuals throughout the world. 

On Feb. 25, the two student organizations began preparing the donated books for shipment to Better World Books, a national organization dedicated to fighting global illiteracy through the dissemination books and funds to needy non-profit organizations.

Those wishing to donate may drop books at ongoing collection points at the Student Health and Activities Center, the Industrial and Engineering Technologies Building, the Fire Science and Law Enforcement Center, College Hall, the Audio/Visual Classroom Center, the Center for Fine and Performing Arts and Health Technologies Hall.

For more information, call 1-800-GO-OWENS, ext. 7583.
