The Michigan State University Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemorative Celebration Planning Committee is hosting several events this month in honor of the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The Center for Community Engaged Learning is proud to be a partner for the two service-based events listed below. You can view the full schedule of events here.

Give Books, Grow Hope: Help Stuff the Library for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Give the gift of hope in honor of a dream this year. Join the Michigan State University community in honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by donating books or funds to purchase books with a diverse representation of people and topics to K-12 school libraries. It’s as easy as Shop and Drop or Donate to participate.

Shop the Amazon Wishlist or a bookstore of your choice, then mail the books to the WorkLife Office or drop them off at donation bins in the MSU Library. Or donate to the Crowdpower campaign and we will take care of the shopping for you. This year's books will be sent to Detroit Public School District to be distributed throughout the many libraries.
