This evening, on assignment for the Advertiser, I made my way over to Steamers Cafe and The Depot bookstore for the first Clinton High School fundraiser that will benefit the Book Buddies fund.
Book Buddies, headed by the school's English department, works to buy books for the Laurens County Library that can then be used by students who are not able to buy their own copies of the required summer reading material.
Steamers committed to donating a portion of their proceeds from the entire day's sales to the Book Buddies fund and The Depot hosted a special advising conference for students who still needed help making their summer reading selection
It was great to see so many people out on the Clinton Square supporting the local schools and working to enable the gift of reading to be in everyone's hands, no matter how deep their pockets may be.
