Colleges "Give a Book" this spring

Worcester, MA - Consortium member institutions have once again been invited to participate in the city-wide Worcester Community Give A Book drive.

The annual book drive is conducted through the "Worcester: The City that Reads" committee, led by school committee member John Monfredo. The goal of this community service effort is to collect K-8 level books for distribution by the Worcester Public Schools to children who do not have adequate books for summer reading. Several Consortium institutions have participated in this effort over the last three years. 

Participating institutions for 2010 are: Becker College, Clark University, College of the Holy Cross, Nichols College, Worcester Polytechnic Institute and Worcester State College.
 

The on-campus drive will run throughout March and April, and the Consortium will arrange to pick up the books at each participating campus in early May.
