The “My Little Pony” book was one of more than 1,000 books donated by UHV faculty, staff and community members to Books for Beginners, a UHV book drive aimed at providing children’s literature to families without many books at home. Some of the donated books were distributed on June 3 to students at O’Connor Elementary. |
