Congressman Issa Launches Program to Give Surplus Books to Local Schools

WASHINGTON, DC – Last week, Congressman Darrell Issa launched the 50^th District surplus book program by personally delivering 200 editions to Temecula Middle School students. The distribution was the first of many to occur across the San Diego and southwest Riverside communities as part of Congressman Issa’s partnership with the Library of Congress’s National Book Surplus Program.

“A book can provide a lifelong love of reading. That’s why I’m honored to work with the Library of Congress to provide hundreds of books to Temecula Middle School. This program brings materials from our nation’s grandest library to schools across our community,” said Issa. “I’m grateful to the leadership at Temecula Middle School for allowing me to visit – especially gathering with the bright and inspiring book club students who joined me in reading and learning. It was an unforgettable afternoon.”
