Assemblywoman Addie Jenne Russell has announced the eighth annual Addie's Books for Children holiday book drive is launching on Wednesday.
Assemblywoman Russell is again partnering with Kinney Drugs for the program, and the books will be distributed by the St. Lawrence County Community Development Program and the Community Action Planning Council in Watertown.
New and gently used books will be collected at Kinney Drugs locations in St. Lawrence and Jefferson counties and will be redistributed to local families.
Books can also be dropped off at the Angel Trees at the Salmon Run Mall and the Dulles Office Building as well as at Assemblywoman Russell's offices in Canton at Suite 1, 3 Remington Ave., off Route 11, and Watertown at Suite 210 Dulles Office Building, 317 Washington St.
The books will be collected on Dec. 18.
