Book Drive Helps Spread Passion For Reading: Report
Guilford teen, 15, has a history of giving back to the community.
Claire Keanna, 15-year-old Guilford High School sophomore, is preparing to collect books at St. George Church, according to a report by the New Haven Register.
Keanna is taking donations now, however, the book drive is scheduled to officially start in February,
The book drive is running now because Keanna said she decided the timing would be good due to the possibility of people stumbling across old books as they put items they received during the holidays.

This is not the first book drive Claire has organized and she received 1,000 donated books back in June, said Keanna via the New Haven Register.
The donated books end up in food banks all across the Shoreline so families can pick up a book as they pick up food.
