Carson City Library, Salvation Army lead 'back to school supply drive'
The Carson City Library has joined the Salvation Army’s Carson City Corps Community Center in preparing students for the upcoming school year. The Back-To-School supply drive will run through August 11. A collection barrel and Apple Tree Poster is located at the library’s main Help Desk.
On the tree are apples with the name of a student and a list of about 4 to 5 items the student will need for the upcoming school year. Patrons may take an apple from the tree, purchase the items requested on the apple and return the items along with the apple to the library to be placed in the barrel.
The community’s help in sending local-area students back to school with much needed school supplies will help children be prepared and successful in the classroom.
