The White Mesa Education Center, located on the White Mesa Ute Reservation in Southeast Utah is seeking book donations.
The education center offers daily tutoring, literacy activities and computer classes for adults, and is trying to fill its bookcases with books.
The library is requesting all types of books for all ages. Any encyclopedias, research or textbooks are also in need for the tutoring center.
Book donations can be dropped off at Multicultural Student Services in the Taggart Student Center, Room 309 over the next two weeks.
“We appreciate any help you can give our Education Center,” said Azalea Dutchie, librarian at the center. “Our center has been lucky enough to get some donations from other Utah libraries and bookstores.”
