Library's 'Drop Your Drawers' Campaign Underway
By West Kentucky Star Staff
MCCRACKEN COUNTY - Make your next visit a "brief" one during the McCracken County Public Library’s Drop Your Drawers campaign.
Drop off packages of new underwear for boys and girls, preferably sizes 4-16, now through December 30 at the library. Donations will help replenish the Merryman House and Paducah Cooperative ministries' supplies of emergency underpants, and provide direct assistance to each organization.
This is the third year for the library to participate in the campaign. Between the previous two years over 2000 pairs of underwear have been distributed.
The Drop Your Drawers campaign is recognizable by the popular character of Captain Underpants by author and illustrator Dav Pilkey. The library’s collection of Captain Underpants’ children’s books will be on display during the Drop Your Drawers campaign.
For more information about the campaign, contact Youth Services Assistant Matt Jaeger at mjaeger@mclib.net, or at (270) 442-2510 ext 118.
