The University of Colorado at Boulder's Community Relations office and Moe's Broadway Bagel are sponsoring a book drive with free bagels at Boulder-area Moe's stores starting Feb. 20.
People who bring in new or gently used children's books to either of the Boulder Moe's locations will receive a free bagel with cream cheese. The offer is limited to one bagel per customer per visit.
The book drive continues through Feb. 24. The books will be donated to school literacy programs, Dental Aid, local early learning centers and area shelters.
Last year's book drive collected more than 600 books. The drive is one of several events planned by CU-Boulder in conjunction with the National Education Association's Read Across America celebration on March 2.
For more information on the book drive or other local Read Across America events call Erin Frazier in the CU-Boulder Community Relations office at (303) 492-8384.
