Union Public Library is excited to partner with the City of Union Police Department for this year's Third Annual Lawmen for Learning School Supply Drive!

For the past two years, our community has come together to help local students start the school year with the supplies they need to succeed. This year, we're thrilled to partner with Union PD in making the drive even bigger and better.

From now through September 1, 2026, we will be collecting new school supplies for local students.

Donations may be dropped off at either of the following locations:

📍 Union Police Department
320 Front Street

📍 Union Public Library
101 Peachtree Street

Whether it's a pack of pencils, notebooks, glue sticks, paper, or any other new school supplies, every donation helps make a difference.

Let's make this year's drive the biggest one yet!
