The Racine Public Library is collaborating with several community organizations on holiday giving projects this fall.
The City of Racine Police/Fire Dispatchers and library employees are conducting a yarn drive to assist in the creation of knitted/crocheted wearable gifts for those in need in our community. Donations of all types of yarn as well as knitted/crocheted hats, scarves, mittens, etc. are being accepted at the Racine Public Library, 75 Seventh St., until Dec. 5. Finished projects will be given to residents of HALO and the Women's Resource Center.
The library is also collecting gift wrap supplies to be used during the 7th Annual Kids Holiday Book Giveaway hosted by the State Street Civic Association and Cops 'N Kids Reading Center being held on Saturday, December 5 from 9am - 1pm. During this yearly holiday event, all children are invited to visit Merchants Moving and Storage at 1215 State St. to select free books from thousands of donations and gift wrap them, if desired. Visitors to the event are able enjoy holiday music, a visit with Santa and other community celebrities, ornament making, and much more. Parents and caregivers are invited to register their children on site with the SafeAssured ID program sponsored by the Racine Police Athletic Association and the Volunteer Center of Racine. The event is totally free and open to all children. Adults must be accompanied by a child.
For more information about the donation opportunities, please contact Becky Spika at 262.619.2571.
