Many children in the Stateline Area will be able to snuggle up with a good book this holiday season thanks to the generosity those who helped may the Beloit Daily News Books For Kids campaign a success once again.
The book drive ended Thursday and Daily News staff delivered more than 2,000 books to the Salvation Army, which in turn will distribute them to children and families in the area.
Even with the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, book collection sites in Beloit and Roscoe filled up, thanks to the generosity of the people of the Stateline Area.
People dug through their book shelves and closets to donate used books, in good condition, so that children who may not get a lot of presents this holiday season can enjoy a good book on Christmas morning.
