POTTSTOWN, PA, March 4, 2010 - The Kiwanis Kids (K-Kids), a student-led community service committee, at West Vincent Elementary School (Owen J. Roberts School District) led a school-wide book donation drive recently. In total, the K-Kids collected more than 1,100 books, which were donated to the Pottstown Family Center.

"We are so grateful to the K-Kids and the students at West Vincent Elementary School," said Jenn Brown, director of the Pottstown Family Center. "Thanks to their generosity, our families can share in the gift of reading with their young children. These books will be a wonderful addition to the Family Center's Parents As Teachers program and the Toy and Book Lending Library."

The Toy and Book Lending Library is open to families who are enrolled in the Family Center's programs and features children's books and activity toys, as well as parent resource books.
