Clear Your Book Shelves! Grayslake District 46 is holding a children's used book drive through Oct. 14 in all schools to benefit economically disadvantaged students within the district.
After the books are collected, inspected, and sorted, they will be redistributed back to 890+ qualified students who will receive up to 12 books each for their grade level before June.
This effort does not cost the district any money or staff resources. It is being facilitated by volunteers at The Book Bridge in Grayslake and Bernie's Book Bank in Libertyville.
