The Woodfield Area Children's Organization (WACO) is holding its fourth annual "Read to Succeed" Children's Book Drive through Wednesday, May 9.

The charity encourages everyone to donate new or gently-used books for preschool through eighth grade.

The books will go to hundreds of needy families in the suburbs and used for WACO's summer reading program sponsored by four Schaumburg businesses - Weber Grill, McDonald's, Chick-fil-A and the Schaumburg Boomers.

Drop-off sites include village hall, Boomers Stadium, Weber Grill and Patrick Volvo in Schaumburg; village hall, the Tripahn Center and Willow Recreation Center in Hoffman Estates; the McDonald's at 1775 Algonquin Road in Rolling Meadows; and Rooster's and Walk-In Closet in Bloomingdale.
