Mesa County School District 51 has scheduled its annual book giveaway event.

The event is set for 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. June 17 and 18 in the gym at Grand Mesa Middle School, 585 31 1/2 Road in Grand Junction.

The giveaway will include books and other materials for all grade levels that are no longer needed because they have been replaced by new curriculum or educators no longer need them.

Participants are welcome to take as many books as they’d like. They’re encouraged to bring their own boxes and bags.

Any books not given away are offered to educational staff in District 51 and other school districts or book buyers or recycled.
