BIRMINGHAM – The Birmingham chapter of the Public Relations Council of Alabama (PRCA-B) invites the public to donate new or almost new children’s books to the organization as part of its children’s book drive during this holiday season.

The Literacy Council serves as a clearinghouse for literacy information and referrals in the five-county metropolitan Birmingham area. The LCCA also conducts public awareness campaigns designed to keep the crisis of illiteracy in the public eye.
