Help Reach out and Read reach 2,000 books by Nov. 10
Charlotte Olson, who was crowned Miss New Jersey Pre-Teen Cover girl for donating 1,300 books to Cooper, has kicked off another drive.
The 13-year-old Heart of Service award recipient has reprised her charity to Children’s Regional Hospital at Cooper University Health Care.
She is seeking the community’s help in reaching her new goal of 2,000 books, which will be donated through the Reach Out and Read public health intervention.
Olson is collecting both new and gently-used fiction books for babies and children through age 10.
