Tree of Giving

The Mark O. Hatfield Library is delighted to announce our second annual TREE OF GIVING book drive.

This year’s recipient? One of Willamette’s neighbors, Richmond Elementary School! The books will be given to their school library.

What can you give? A new book that is appropriate for grade school age children (unwrapped please). They especially need books in the 2nd and 3rd grade reading levels. The children’s favorite books are on the topics of animals and adventure. We will also be collecting new caps and mittens for the school.

Where do you drop off your donation? To any person working at the Circulation Desk in the library.

Please come by and visit our tree of giving, located near the entrance of the library, and see the beautiful ornaments adorning it (one representing each book donated).

Thank you!!!
