Thanks to the generosity of the Overland Park Rotary Club, Center High School received approximately 2,200 books today to be given the CHS students. Members of the Center technology team helped unload the books and move them to the school library for sorting. CHS Librarian Melissa Storrer will take it from there to get them distributed. Thanks to Center's Elementary Library coordinator, Erin Sharp, for making all the connections.
