The Delta State University Delta Center for Culture and Learning continued to distribute books courtesy of the Harry Potter Alliance (HPA) this past week to libraries in Clarksdale, Belzoni and Rolling Fork to help promote literacy.

The HPA sent thousands of books to the Delta Center to be distributed to entities in the Delta who are already engaged in promoting literacy.

HPA is the creation of Andrew Slack, who serves as its executive director and who approached the Delta Center with this project. He credits the 40 Alliance volunteer staff members and the 60 local chapters with making the book drive possible.
