NEWTON, Kan. — The Harvey County Sheriff’s Office is seeking books for its detention center.

If anyone has books they no longer want, the sheriff’s office says it would gladly take them for use in the jail. Donations like this can help the jail expand its library catalog offerings for those in custody. Those books can provide an educational outlet for inmates.

The jail can only accept paperback copies of books. If you have some books you would be willing to add to the collection, please take them to the Harvey County Sheriff’s Office in Newton.
