Drive for Literacy hits the road

May 22, 2011 | 11:55 AM

Dr. Seuss, Berenstain Bears or Harry Potter — the Drive for Literacy campaign would like them all.

They are looking for used books to encourage kids and teens to grow their reading and vocabulary skills.

The month long campaign is filling a trailer with the books for children and teens to donate to several nonprofit organizations that need the books.

The campaign has been on the road making stops at locations around the city.

An estimated 2,000 books have already been donated including donations from students and teachers in the Saskatchewan Rivers School Division.
