Harshbarger Office Makes Book Delivery to Central Heights Elementary School

Kingsport, TN. - Today, staff from the office of Representative Diana Harshbarger (TN-01) visited Central Heights Elementary School in Blountville to deliver donated books from the U.S. Library of Congress.

"It is always a privilege to be able to give students the resources they need to read and learn as they grow in their education," said Congresswoman Harshbarger. "I'm thankful my office was able to play a small role in supporting Central Heights Elementary and Librarian Stephanie Cronan in their efforts to create an environment where students can succeed.

The U.S. Library of Congress Surplus Books Program, led by Joe Mahar, is a treasure to Tennessee's first district and I am grateful for their service. Reading is the foundation of learning, and I'm proud to support local schools in fostering a love for books and education."
