MOUNT CARMEL - Walt Kozlowski, a librarian and English teacher at Mount Carmel Area Junior-Senior High School, was inspired by local efforts to help flood victims and decided to coordinate a book collection. The books will be donated to help Danville Area Middle School rebuild its library. According to Pennsylvania School Librarians Association, the library at Danville lost everything.
Kozlowski is also an academic tutor for Bloomsburg University Upward Bound, and the students in Upward Bound along with Kozlowski's 10th-grade English classes, seventh-grade PSSA review classes and the Interact club are contributing books for this worthwhile cause.
Residents wishing to donate books in good condition that are suitable for sixth to eighth grades may drop them off at the Mount Carmel Area High school library. The drive runs through Oct. 28.
