Albertsons Library at Boise State University is collecting children's books for Operation Wish Book. People can give new books or gently used ones from November 1 through December 1. The goal is 650 books. The library has been a partner since 1994 and has gathered more than 4,000 books over those years. The 650 is this season's target, not a pile already counted. The drive is about getting books into kids' hands so more children have something of their own to read.
