The annual drive to put books in the hands of the community’s children has been scheduled for May 19. The Stuff the Bus campaign, a partnership of United Way of Central Iowa, Athene and Shazam, will collect new and gently used books from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Athene, 7700 Mills Civic Parkway. The books will be distributed to United Way’s partner programs, child care centers, schools and in-home child care providers. Organizers say there is an urgent need for books for pre-K through second grade students. Nearly 20,000 books were collected during last year’s event.
