The National Student Speech Language Hearing Association, a student group on the University of Louisiana at Monroe鈥檚 campus, recently kicked-off a book drive to benefit the Morehouse Parish Library鈥檚 Dunbar branch in Bastrop.

The book drive takes place through Nov. 13. Collection boxes are located around campus and include the Student Union Building鈥檚 first floor, Schulze Cafeteria, the 四色AV bookstore, the 四色AV Library and the Kitty DeGree Speech and Hearing Center in Sugar Hall.
