Books for Littles

Who doesn’t love a good book?  United Way of Coastal Carolina’s “Books for Littles” Drive will be collecting new and gently-used books for tots through teens from through March 10.  The books will be donated to United Way funded agencies for children and families in the non-profit’s service area that includes Carteret, Craven, Jones and Pamlico Counties as part of a world-wide initiative to improve early childhood learning opportunities.

The following locations will be accepting donated books:

  • BB&T New Bern branches at Carolina Colours, Downtown and Highway 17S (MLK Boulevard)
  • BB&T branches in Cape Carteret, Morehead City Main, and Morehead City Highway 70 W
  • Black Insurance Services, 2113 Glenburnie Road in New Bern
  • Brock Motor Company in Trenton
  • Craven Animal Hospital, 4603 Old Cherry Point Road in New Bern
  • United Way of Coastal Carolina Office, 601 Broad Street in New Bern

“Books for Littles” will wrap up on March 10, following the 20th Celebration of Read Across America Day and the birthday of Dr. Seuss, Theodor Geisel.
