Assemblywoman Addie Russell announced the kick-off of her third annual book drive, "Addie’s Books for Children," commencing this week.
Kinney Drugs has agreed to partner this year by serving as the drop-off location for the new or gently used books donated by constituents. Every Kinney Drugs store in St. Lawrence county will have a drop box for the community to use.
The books will be donated to the Community Development Program in St. Lawrence County to be distributed to children and families.
“I am very excited to launch the ABC Program for the third year," Russell said. "Thousands of books have been donated in our first two drives and we’re hoping that this year, in these tough economic times, our communities will be even more generous to this program.
"Putting a book in every child’s hand this holiday season is our goal. We all know the importance of reading in children’s lives.”
Books will be accepted at Kinney Drugs stores until Dec. 10.
Russell, a Democrat from Theresa, represents the 118th Assembly District, which includes, in St. Lawrence County, the city of Ogdensburg and townships along the St. Lawrence River, and the towns of Macomb, Canton and Potsdam, plus part of Jefferson County.
