GRINNELL, Kan. (KSNW) — When a tornado ripped through the small town of Grinnell last month, it left behind shattered homes, a ruined church, and the loss of another vital piece of the community — the school library.
In a social media appeal from the State Library of Kansas, the Moore Family Library and the Northwest Kansas Library System are calling on Kansans to help restock the shelves with gently used children’s picture books, chapter books, and young adult titles. The donations will be used to rebuild the school’s library and classroom collections ahead of the fall semester, when students return to class in a temporary building.
Organizers say donated books won’t just fill shelves — they’ll help restore a sense of stability for children returning to school after disaster.
Book donations can be sent to:
Northwest Kansas Library System
2 Washington Square
Norton, KS 67654
