Children's books to be distributed in Silver Springs

EyeC Books is sponsoring a book drive to benefit Silver Springs families and children 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Aug. 6.

This event has two purposes: to distribute books to families and children and to collect books to continue this effort.

Bring book donations to Lighthouse Assembly of God Church, 1550 Ramsey Weeks Cutoff, Silver Springs. For more information, call 775-230-9600 and leave a message or email cmeread@eyecbooks.com.

EyeC Books expects to give away more than 100 packets of free children's books.

Vouchers have been left with the FISH store in Dayton, businesses, churches and the welfare office in Silver Springs, and Child and Family Services in Fernley to distribute to families in need. The vouchers can be brought to the Aug. 6 event and exchanged for a bundle of five books.

Children can also pick up vouchers at the event. Books will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Visit the website at www.eye
