A student-led service project at the California campus of PennWest University has helped expand access to books in the community.

Members of the campus Speech and Hearing Club, part of the National Student Speech Language Hearing Association (NSSLHA), designed, built and donated a free library that has been installed in the borough of California. The project was supported by a student-organized book drive, which collected donated books to help stock the library.

With support from California Mayor Frank Stetar, the proposal was presented to and approved by the California Borough Council. The library was installed along Hickory Street near the children’s playground, providing easy access for families and residents.

A dedication of the free library happened on Monday.
