Book drive at Mount benefits Newburgh children

Tiffany O’Leary (right), curriculum librarian at Mount Saint Mary College, and Meagan O’Gallagher, library intern, sort through some of the 450 children’s books donated by Mount students, faculty, and staff during the college’s Library Week Book Drive. Children at Head Start of Eastern Orange County, on Gidney Avenue, and Sacred Heart School on South Robinson Street, both in Newburgh, NY, will benefit with new books to read in school and at home. English major O’Gallagher, a senior from Sound Beach, NY, credits her internship at Curtin Memorial Library on campus with helping her to decide to pursue library science in graduate school.
