The members of Recycle Reading decided to organize a book drive for the organization because they wanted to focus on staying in the community. "This is where we go to school;' said Darcie Waite, a senior majoring in business information systems. "We need to help Cache Valley out." Shelly Owen, Recycle Reading member and a junior studying accounting, said that 11 percent of adults in the valley can't even read at the third-grade level. "Third-grade level, that's like 'Hop On Pop,'" said Waite. Two book drives have already been implemented at different elementary schools. Shane Russell, a junior dual majoring in Spanish and business, organized a drive at Alta Elementary in Wyoming. Approximately 200 books were col- lected. Cory Hundley, a junior studying business, also worked on a book drive at a Salt Lake City elementary school with his mother. This weekend, group members will be handing out fliers explaining the book drive to several neighborhoods in Cache Valley. On April 9, they will return to the neighborhoods, collecting books from those wishing to donate. So far, Recycle Reading has collected more than 2,000 books; 85 were collected from Tuesday night's concert. For those wishing to donate books, there are several boxes located around Cache Valley. There are collection boxes at Lee's, Macey's, Wal-Mart, Icon Health and Fitness and Oakridge Student Housing. Bridgerland Literacy is also in need of school supplies, so donations of paper and pencils are also encouraged. ~abean@xc.usu.edu Who's Paying Your College Education? Tuition hike got you worried?
