7th Annual Addie's Books for Children initiative gets underway in St. Lawrence County

Posted

As the holiday season gets underway, Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa, is once again teaming up with Kinney Drugs to provide books to children across the North Country.

The 7th annual Addie’s Books for Children drive is looking for new or gently used books for kids up to 12 years old.

“It’s important that every child is exposed to the joy of reading at an early age,” Russell said. “I’m extremely proud that over the last six years we’ve been able to donate more than 20,000 books to North Country children. I look forward to encouraging holiday reading as a tradition, and I hope more people from across the region will join me.”

There are drop-off locations are located at every Kinney Drugs store and at Russell’s district office at 3 Remington Ave., Suite 1, Canton.

St. Lawrence County donations will be distributed by the St. Lawrence County Community Development Program.

Russell expressed gratitude for the support she is receiving for the program from Kinney Drugs, the St. Lawrence County Community Development Program, and the Community Action Planning Council.
