Orange Schools Partner with Cleveland Kids' Book Bank

The Orange City School District is hosting an outdoor book collection bin for gently-used children’s books to be distributed to disadvantaged children in Greater Cleveland. Books that might have gone in the trash will now have a second life thanks to Orange Schools’ new partnership with the Cleveland Kids’ Book Bank.

The Kids’ Book Bank has provided Orange Schools with a large steel bin for the collection of children’s books. The book bin is located outside the Pepper Pike Learning Center next to the tennis courts.
