Newark-Are Representative Host Second
Book Drive Event for Christina School District

 

Democratic State Representatives Michael A. Barbieri, Earl G. Jaques Jr., John A. Kowalko and Teresa L. Schooley, who all represent the Newark area, will continue their month-long book drive benefiting Christina School District on Saturday, February 28 at Borders Books and Music store in Newark.

Last month, these local legislators answered Governor Jack A. Markell's call to community service through the book drive, and the activity has exceeded initial expectations, with more than 2,000 books collected to date. The donations help replenish the district's libraries and classrooms. The Newark-area representatives now hope to generate a second wave of donations in an effort to collect 4,000 books. All four state representatives will be on hand from 1:30-5:00 p.m. at Borders to collect books donated to help replenish the district’s libraries and classrooms and to meet with residents.  Secretary of Education (and former Christina School District superintendent) Dr. Lillian Lowery will also attend the event to greet residents and discuss the importance of continued service and support of schools.

Those wishing to participate may donate used books, purchase new books at Borders to donate, or make a cash contribution to the Christina School District.  Borders is located at 101 Geoffrey Drive in Newark.  For more information about the book drive, please call Eli Turkel at 744-4192 or Borders at 366-8144.
