Bringham Young University, in partnership with West Virginia University and the WVU College of Applied Human Sciences, will host a book drive at a service tailgate prior to the football game between the Cougars and the Mountaineers on Saturday, Nov. 4.
The book drive is being held to benefit the WVU Nursery School and the Monongalia and Preston Counties United Way. The collected books will be used to create new classroom libraries at the nursery school and to provide books to children in need in the local community.
The public is invited to participate in the book drive by dropping books off at the tailgate at the Erickson Alumni Center. Or, books can be ordered in advance using this Amazon Wishlist and delivered directly to the WVU Nursery School or the local United Way chapters.
The book drive is part of BYU’s “Cougs Care” service tailgate program. Local alumni chapters organize and host “Cougs Care” pregame tailgates that incorporate a service project for local nonprofits at every away football game.
