Children inside TVN-Uhrichsville have over 400 books to choose from thanks to a recent donation from Waldenbooks, New Towne Mall, New Philadelphia, Ohio. Each child had the opportunity to look through the network's library of new stories and take one home to keep.
"I was so excited we were picked this year to receive the books," said Brandi Ankrom, Assistant Coordinator for TVN-Uhrichsville. "The variety and quality is unbelievable. We have everything from infant to young adult books."
The book giveaway is a yearly program offered through the local Waldenbooks. The donation program is sponsored by Borders Group who owns Waldenbooks.
Both Day Treatment and Foster Care boys and girls received new books. The donation included books for general reading, activity books, paper dolls, infant books with rattles and a variety of teen selections.
"The children were so excited and they put a lot of thought into choosing their book," said Ankrom. "After they made a choice, they rushed over to show us their picks and tell us why that book was special to them. It was great feeling!"
