Book Drive Set for Tonight vs. CU

The University of Nebraska Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is sponsoring the "Read to Succeed" Book Drive on three dates in November, including tonight's volleyball match against Colorado.

Husker student-athletes ask fans to donate new or good condition picture or chapter books. The books will be given to Title 1 Lincoln Public Elementary Schools to encourage familiies to develop a love for reading together.

The books will be collected by Husker student athletes before the Colorado match, as well as the men’s basketball game against Marquette on Nov. 30.

The Lincoln Public Schools Ventures in Partnership will assist the student-athletes with the distribution of the books to make sure they get into the hands of youngsters in need of books in their homes.

At each book drive location, fans who donate a book will be entered to win a prize awarded the night of each contest. The prizes will include a volleyball autographed by the 2005 Huskers.
