Students living in Reynolds Residence Hall of Western Carolina University are seeking new or used books as part of a project to donate them to students at Smokey Mountain Elementary School.

The students are trying to collect 1,000 books by Nov. 18 and are asking people to:

• Donate a favorite childhood book.

• Donate new or gently used books.

• Donate money for book purchases.

• Help spread the news about the book drive.

Books may be dropped off at Reynolds Residence Hall or Scott Hall on the campus of Western Carolina University. Students will pick up books for those what can’t get to campus.

For information or to have books picked up contact Jean Bowen through email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or 828.227.4642.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.

The Smoky Mountain News is a wholly private corporation. Reader contributions support the journalistic mission of SMN to remain independent. Your support of SMN does not constitute a charitable donation. If you have a question about contributing to SMN, please contact us.
