The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

WAITSBURG - High School Senior Kimmie Hamann is focusing on what it takes for a child to become a successful reader and literate American in her senior project titled, 'Literacy in America'. As part of her project, Hamann is holding a book drive which will run through Monday, April 28.

Drop-off locations include all Waitsburg schools and the Waitsburg branch of the AmericanWest Bank. All new and gently used books for babies through adults would be greatly appreciated. The books will be donated to the Waitsburg School District as well as local charities. "The main purpose of the book drive is to get books into the hands of kids in our community!" said Hamann.
