Guthrie Robert Packer Hospital Accepts Book Donation

The Alpha Zeta chapter of the Delta Kappa Society recently made a donation of more than 600 baby books to the First Impressions Birthing Center at Guthrie Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre, Pa. 

The books will be given to new mothers and infants when they leave the hospital. The aim of this project, now in its twentieth year, is to encourage new parents to read to their children in order to help develop a love of reading from a young age.
