The purpose of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Statewide Children’s Literacy Drive is to collect new or gently used children’s books for distribution to elementary, middle, and high schools, and to after school programs across the State. This important enrichment program began in 2004 and continues each year, thanks to the generosity of participating State agencies.
