Goodwill Industries stores in the south-central Ohio region will be offering books, free of charge, to teachers from Wednesday, August 7th to Wednesday, August 21st.

“Throughout the year, our donors have been very generous in the number of books we receive. This is one small way we can show our appreciation for the hard work and dedication of the teachers in our communities,” said Marvin Jones, CEO of Goodwill.
