Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell (D-Theresa) announced the kickoff of her fifth annual holiday book drive. Known as Addie's Books for Children, the book drive has collected well over 12,000 books over the past four years, thanks to Kinney Drugs whose Jefferson and St. Lawrence County stores serve as drop off points. All of the books go to CAPC of Jefferson County and the St. Lawrence County Community Development Program for distribution to families throughout the North Country. Books can also be dropped off in the red bins at the Dulles State Office Building in Watertown, or at her St. Lawrence County district office, 70 Main Street in Canton.
