Olivet University Donates Over 700 Children's Books to Local Library

Olivet University is pleased to support the Anza Valley community through a recent donation of more than 700 children's books to the Friends of Anza Library, a nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening the Anza Valley Community Library.

Friends of Anza Library President Jill Roberts and Vice President Kay Mackay visited Olivet University's campus to receive the donation. During their visit, university representatives provided a tour of the facilities before presenting nearly 30 boxes filled with high-quality children's books.

"We wanted to extend a very grateful thanks to Olivet University for the very warm and heartfelt welcome. We are very excited about our budding collaborative endeavors and their support of the Anza Library and our Friends group. How exciting to be working together for the good of our respective communities," said Roberts, joined by Mackay.

The donation came from the University's Ralph D. Winter Library, which had a surplus of children's materials available for community use. When selecting a recipient, the university immediately thought of the Friends of Anza Library as an organization aligned with its commitment to education and community service.

Through this contribution, Olivet University is grateful to establish a new partnership and to support the Anza Public Library, which is currently seeking to expand into a larger facility. Olivet University looks forward to continued collaboration and hopes to play a meaningful role in supporting educational growth and enrichment within the Anza community.
