ATTENTION LIONS! Do you have any spare books stashed around your house? This year, ACS is having a book drive. Bring your novels, children’s stories, comic books, and anything else you can think of, to the donation box located right outside the library! Your donations will be given to those who lack the financial resources to buy books, so that more people can practice reading and writing. So, come on Lions, let’s bring those books down to the library!
