As her Facebook friends and PGW colleagues are well aware, the distribution company's Midwest sales rep Jen Adkins Reynolds has been taking time from her work to assist with recovery efforts in her hometown of West Liberty, Kent. since the small town of 3,500 where her parents live was hard hit on March 2 by an EF-3 tornado that leveled the downtown area. Reynolds is putting the word out to book publishers, sales reps, and booksellers who’ve asked how they can help that any galleys or finished copies of books left over from the selling season would be much appreciated in either the local school – which was destroyed and is being rebuilt as quickly as possible – or in the shelters, which are full of displaced children and their families
“Picture books, board books, games, puzzles – all can be used,” Reynolds wrote colleagues in an e-mail that she also posted on Facebook this past weekend. Reynolds is asking that any donations be sent care of her father, Tony Adkins, 1014 Liberty Road, West Liberty, Kent., 41472.
Cash donations may be made to the Red Cross or to the Morgan County Relief Fund 711, c/o Bank of the Mountains, P.O. Box 309, West Liberty, Kent., 41472.
