Tiffin University Dragons to Help Doss High School Dragons READ. Two Tiffin University freshmen seminar classes are asking for donations of gently used adolescent and young adult books (AYA) for the Harry Doss High School Dragons in Louisville, KY. The two TU classes, taught by Dr. Terry Collins and Dr. Phyllis Watts, are sponsoring the book drive as their fall 2014 community service project. This one-time gift of reading will help fill some gaps in the Doss High School Library’s holdings. The recent hit movie The Giver has generated a lot of interest among Doss readers, but school library media specialist Dr. Nancy Chiara stated that the library currently has only a single copy of Lois Lowery’s book on which the movie was based. According to Chiara, the Doss Library desperately needs books that are required reading for the high school’s upper classmen. For example, Doss has limited copies of works such as Golding’s Lord of the Flies and To Kill a Mockingbird, books that are used in many English language arts classes. So few books don’t go very far when the enrollment of the 9-12th grade high school is over 1,500 students. Dr. Chiara added, “This is a fabulous opportunity for our students. Our library has limited funds, so we can't always purchase all books we would like. Also, many of our students do not have any books at home, and this book drive may allow us to offer free books to students. The book club is thrilled and our school couldn't be happier about being the recipient of donated books.” Either paperback or hard cover books will be accepted. A complete list of requested titles can be found at this link: http://tinyurl.com/kp7w8vv Donors can drop off books at the Pfeiffer Library from now until Friday, October 31st. For more information contact Dr. Collins at ext 3432 or Dr. Watts at ext 3303 (Money donations will NOT be accepted.)
