The Oregon Women Lawyers Coffee Creek Book Drive will take place May 13-29. There will be collection boxes near the court clerks' offices in each of the 7th Judicial District Courthouses (511 Washington St.,3rd Floor, The Dalles; 309 State St, Hood River; 221 S. Oregon St, Condon, 500 Court St., Wasco, and 701 Adams St, Fossil).
The book drive is to benefit the library at the Coffee Creek Women's Correctional Facility.
Both hard and soft cover books are acceptable. Books on CD are also acceptable. No books on tape or magazines.
Any form of fiction is acceptable. Mysteries, romance, and science fiction/fantasy are the most popular. The women at Coffee Creek have a wide range of reading abilities. Books written for young adults are particularly needed.
Nonfiction is also acceptable. Children's books are welcome as many of the women have children who visit. There is an enormous need for books in Spanish, Russian, and other languages.
The books must be in good to excellent condition. The CCCF library is a circulating library so a book that is in only fair shape to begin with just won't last very long.
Senior Judge Janet Stauffer is coordinating the drive for the 7thJudicial District. You may call 541-993-2202 to coordinate pick up or with questions.
