ALTON – The YWCA Southwestern Illinois is pleased to announce a free New Book Giveaway during the month of December. YWCA has 80 plus titles of books with multiple copies of each title. The majority of the books are hard back. All books are in excellent condition and are suitable for holiday gift-giving.
YWCA was gifted 30,000 pounds of brand new books from Dr. Mary Mason of the Little Medical School and Dr. Genie’s Kids Foundation. Dr. Mary Mason, a native Altonian, received the books from the Molina Foundation “is thrilled to pass on these books to my home community. The books include a variety of genres—children’s books, young adult books, fiction, non-fiction, Spanish, coffee table and Disney books. There are few things in life that are free anymore and I am delighted to be able to work with YWCA and offer these new books to the community free of charge.”
