The Altrusa Club of Roseburg will have its “Stuff the Bus with Children’s Books” event on Saturday, June 14th from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.in the parking lot of Sherm’s Thunderbird Market on Northwest Stewart Parkway in Roseburg.

Altrusa is collecting new and gently used books for its literacy projects throughout Douglas County. The organization provides books for Little Community Libraries in Roseburg and Sutherlin. It also gives away children’s books at many events like Dream Night and Zoobilee at Wildlife Safari, Roseburg’s Blocktoberfest, and other activities around the community. Celebration of Literacy requires the largest number of books. Last February, the organization gave out over 5,000 children’s books during the series of events.

Altrusa has many other service projects in the community, but literacy is the emphasis. For more information about the Altrusa Club of Roseburg, go to: https://districttwelve.altrusa.org/roseburg/
