The University of Colorado at Boulder Office of Community Affairs and Moe's Broadway Bagel are sponsoring a book drive with free bagels at all three Moe's stores through Feb. 28 in connection with National Education Association's Read Across America Day, March 3.
People who bring in new or gently used children's books to either of the Boulder Moe's locations or the Denver store at 550 Grant St. will receive a free bagel with cream cheese. The offer is limited to one bagel per customer per visit.
The books will be donated to local after-school programs, Dental Aid locations, The Children's Hospital and area shelters. A previous book drive collected more than 400 books. The drive is one of several events planned by the university in conjunction with the National Education Association's Read Across America Day, celebrating reading and Dr. Seuss' birthday.
For more information on the book drive and other local Read Across America Day events, call Erin Frazier in the CU-Boulder Office of Community Affairs at (303) 492-8384.
