----------------------------------------------------- 4. Books Needed for Bulldog Book Drive!

Do you have any books that you don't use anymore? The children in Athens need them! Here’s how you can help….

What it is: Bulldog Book Drive!

What you should know: First Book-UGA, Whatever It Takes at UGA, and the Masters of Public Administration Program are teaming up to bring the Bulldog Book Drive – a campus-wide book drive over Thanksgiving.

So while you’re home ask your parents, neighbors and friends for books! Bring back new and/or gently used books to make a difference in these kids' lives!

When: Sunday, Nov. 27-Monday, Dec. 5. The book drive is happening the entire week after Thanksgiving break.

Where: What do you do with all those books you bring back? Just drop them off at any of these locations: - Residence Hall lobbies: The hall with the most books donated gets a prize. Talk to your R.A. for more info. - Greek houses: The house with the most books wins a band party. - Aderhold Hall and Moore College - Catholic Center (on Lumpkin)

Remember: One campus. One book drive. One week. 60,000 books. Don’t miss out!
