Penguins collecting books for kids

My favorite sports team -- the Pittsburgh Penguins -- are hosting a children's book collection to benefit the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh! Here is the rest of the press release from the Pens' website:

The Penguins organization will host its third children’s book collection on Saturday, March 12 for the benefit of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh.

Fans are encouraged to bring new or gently used children’s books to CONSOL Energy Center on Saturday afternoon, March 12 when the Penguins battle the Montreal Canadiens.  The books will be distributed to Carnegie Library branches in the Pittsburgh area to foster summer reading programs.  Monetary donations are also welcome and will be used by the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh to purchase new books.

The Penguins Wives Association and Booster Club will accept donations at the American Eagle Gate, Trib Total Media Gate, and Verizon Gate when gates open to the public until the puck drops.  Fans who contribute will be eligible to win autographed Penguins memorabilia!
