February 1 – 28, 2025 – Book Drive
Join Us for a Book Drive in Honor of the 100th Anniversary of Mary Couts Burnett Library! In celebration of our milestone anniversary, we’re teaming up with Presbyterian Children’s Homes and Services (PCHAS) to support foster children in need. PCHAS serves over 1,400 kids across Texas, Louisiana, and Missouri, many of whom have never owned a book or had books read to them. Together, we want to provide them with age-appropriate books to help build their love of reading and learning. Because at both PCHAS and TCU Library, we believe reading is an essential skill for success!
