Vol State Collected Books for the Charles Ralph Holland Memorial Library

Tue, Jul 11, 2023

Volunteer State Community College recently held a graphic novel drive at Mountain Top Comics & Collectables to help the Charles Ralph Holland Memorial Library bolster its offerings for young adults. The drive was able to collect over 130 books with a retail value of almost $2,500.

Reading is one of the most important things kids can do to ensure that they will have academic success. These graphic novels, most of which feature superheroes, will hopefully inspire the youths of all ages in Jackson County to fall in love with reading.

Volunteer Fair Connects People with Organizations September 14

Volunteerism is ingrained in the Tennessee spirit. However, people may need help connecting with organizations that need assistance. The upcoming Volunteer Fair at Volunteer State Community College can make those connections. There will be approximately 20 local nonprofit groups on site for the Saturday, September 14 event. It's organized by the One Community Sumner County library collaborative- a partnership between the public libraries of Sumner County, Sumner County Schools, and Vol State’s Thigpen Library.
