With Summer Book Drive, Books-A-Million Gives Gift of Reading to Pottstown School Students

Any collection of books which has this many Captain Underpants titles has my endorsement! They're hilarious and great fun to read out loud.

Books-A-Million in the Coventry Mall is supporting education in Pottstown School District with a book donation. They collected 215 books from their customers over the summer of 2017, which store manager, Heather Sarik reported is a $1,306.66 value.

“Books-A-Million is very focused on giving back,” said Sarik.

“Hosting a book drive twice a year for our local schools, libraries, and non-profit organizations is our way of helping where needed. It’s a wonderful feeling knowing that you may have played a role in fostering the love of books in someone.”

Sarik is a Pottstown School District alumni and she was pleased to give back to her community.

Elementary students will enjoy these entertaining and educational books. Literacy is an important initiative for Pottstown School District, with regular Family Literacy Nights for Pre-K and elementary students.

“Great books get kids excited about reading, which helps to foster life-long habits,” said Laurie Kolka, Pottstown School District’s Director of Curriculum, Instruction, and Professional Development. “We greatly appreciate the generosity of Books-A-Million and its customers in supporting access to quality literature for our students.”
