They say the grass roots effort mean a lot to students Gerald Mason told us; "It shows that people care number one. The community cares. Alumni care. Citizens care. That's the number one thing and them I'm so proud because it was conducted mainly in the black community" Howard Alumni got donations from the community and businesses for the Library drive.
