Library Tree of Giving

Greetings Willamette Community!

The Hatfield Library is pleased to announce our first annual tree of giving to the Willamette University Community. We will be accepting new books for kids in kindergarten through fifth grades. We will also be collecting hats, scarves, and gloves or mittens for their little heads and hands!

Auburn grade school is the largest grade school in the Salem/Keizer School District and includes a significant population of students bilingual in both Russian and Spanish languages. Bilingual books would be welcomed. In addition to general K-5 reading, the counselors at Auburn suggested books with the following themes:

Diversity

Friendships

Cooperation and support

Problem solving

Sense of humor

A tree in the Hatfield Library will hold a handmade ornament on its branches for each book that is donated. You may leave donations at the Circulation desk through December 21st.

If you would like additional information or have a questions about this tree of giving please call Karen Cristobal at extension 6616.

Happy Holidays!
